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 if needed
- 2 tablespoons capers
- 24 oz. spinach leaves
- Salt and fresh-ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Thaw shrimp overnight in the fridge or in cool water in a pinch.
- Peel away shells and remove the vein that runs along the back if needed.
- Drain the tomatoes into a colander placed in the sink and let most of the juice drain off.
- Chop green pepper and onion, and prepare garlic, capers, and Italian Herb Blend.
- Dissolve the Knorr Shrimp Bouillon cube in hot water.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large frying pan, add green bell pepper and onion, and saute over medium-high heat until slightly brown, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add minced garlic and Italian Herb Blend, and cook for 1-2 minutes more.
- Add drained tomatoes and 1/2 cup of shrimp bouillon mixture, and simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes.
- Wash the spinach in a salad spinner if needed.
- Heat the second tablespoon of oil in another large frying pan, add spinach, and wilt it for 1-2 minutes.
- Add shrimp and capers to the mixture after 10 minutes and cook until shrimp is pink and firm, about 3-4 minutes.
- Season with salt and fresh-ground black pepper.
- Divide wilted spinach into bowls and top each with shrimp mixture.
- Serve hot.
Notes
- Most shrimp comes deveined, even when in the shell.
- Using chicken or fish stock can be an alternative to shrimp bouillon.
- Serve with lemon wedges for added flavor.
