Description
A delicious blend of shrimp, spinach, and tomatoes sautéed with herbs and spices.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (14 oz.) petite diced tomatoes, drained
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large green bell pepper, diced in 1/2 inch pieces
- 1/2 large onion, diced in 1/2 inch pieces
- 1 teaspoon finely minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon Italian Herb Blend
- 1/2 cup water with one cube Knorr Shrimp Bouillon
- 1 pound raw jumbo shrimp, thawed, shelled, and deveined
- 2 tablespoons capers
- 24 oz. spinach leaves
- Salt and fresh-ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Thaw shrimp overnight in the fridge or in a plastic bag in cool water.
- Peel shells and remove the vein from the shrimp if necessary.
- Drain the tomatoes into a colander placed in the sink and let most of the juice drain off.
- Chop the green pepper and onion, and prepare the garlic, capers, and Italian Herb Blend.
- Dissolve the Knorr Shrimp Bouillon cube in hot water or measure 1 cup of chicken or fish stock and simmer until reduced to 1/2 cup.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large frying pan, add green bell pepper and onion, and sauté over medium-high heat until slightly brown, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and Italian Herb Blend, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Add the drained tomatoes and 1/2 cup shrimp bouillon mixture, and simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes.
- While simmering, wash the spinach in a salad spinner if necessary.
- In another large frying pan, heat the second tablespoon of olive oil, add the spinach, and turn until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
- After the tomato mixture has cooked for 10 minutes, add shrimp and capers, cooking until the shrimp are pink and firm, about 3-4 minutes.
- Season with salt and fresh-ground black pepper to taste.
- Divide wilted spinach into four bowls and top each with 1/4 of the shrimp mixture. Serve hot.
Notes
- Use chicken or fish stock if shrimp bouillon is not available.
- Most shrimp come deveined; check the packaging.
