Description

A delicious dish featuring jumbo shrimp sautéed with fresh spinach and seasoned vegetables, served hot.


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
  • Salt and fresh-ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 pound raw jumbo shrimp, thawed and shelled and deveined if needed
  • 2 tablespoons capers
  • 24 oz. spinach leaves

Instructions

  1. Thaw shrimp overnight in the fridge or in a plastic bag in cool water in a pinch.
  2. Peel away shells and remove the vein that runs along the back if needed.
  3. Drain the tomatoes into a colander and let most of the juice drain off.
  4. Chop green pepper and onion, and prepare the garlic, capers, and Italian Herb Blend.
  5. Dissolve the Knorr Shrimp Bouillon cube in hot water, or if using chicken or fish stock, measure 1 cup and reduce to 1/2 cup over medium heat.
  6. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large frying pan, add the green bell pepper and onion, sauté over medium-high heat until slightly browned, about 3-4 minutes.
  7. Add the minced garlic and Italian Herb Blend; cook for 1-2 minutes more.
  8. Add the drained tomatoes and 1/2 cup shrimp bouillon mixture, simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes.
  9. Wash spinach in a salad spinner if needed and set aside.
  10. In another frying pan, heat the second tablespoon of oil, add the spinach, and sauté until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
  11. Add the shrimp and capers to the tomato mixture and cook until shrimp is pink and firm, about 3-4 minutes.
  12. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  13. Divide wilted spinach into four bowls and top each with 1/4 of the shrimp mixture.
  14. Serve hot.

Notes

  • If you don’t have shrimp bouillon, you can use 1 cup of chicken or fish stock reduced to 1/2 cup.
  • Most shrimp comes deveined now, but check if they need to be cleaned.
  • This recipe is best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for a couple of days.
