Description
A delicious and healthy Mediterranean dish featuring shrimp and spinach.
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 and 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 away shells and remove the vein that runs along the back if needed.
- Drain the tomatoes into a colander and let most of the juice drain off.
- Chop green pepper and onion, and get the garlic, capers, and Italian Herb Blend ready.
- Dissolve the Knorr Shrimp Bouillon cube in hot water, or use 1 cup chicken or fish stock and simmer over medium heat until reduced to 1/2 cup.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large frying pan, add the green bell pepper and onion, and sauté over medium-high heat until slightly brown, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add minced garlic and Italian Herb Blend, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Add drained tomatoes and 1/2 cup shrimp bouillon mixture, then simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes.
- While this simmers, wash the spinach if needed.
- Heat the second tablespoon of oil in another large frying pan, add the spinach, and turn until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
- After 10 minutes of cooking the mixture, add shrimp and capers, cooking 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 with shrimp mixture. Serve hot.
Notes
- For best flavor, use fresh shrimp and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Most shrimp come deveined now even when they’re in the shell.
- It’s best to serve this dish hot for optimal taste.
