Description
A delicious Mediterranean dish featuring shrimp and spinach, seasoned with Italian herbs and 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
- 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 in a pinch.
- 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 the green pepper and onion, and prepare garlic, capers, and Italian Herb Blend.
- Dissolve the shrimp bouillon cube in hot water or reduce chicken/fish stock to 1/2 cup.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large frying pan, then sauté green bell pepper and onion over medium-high heat until slightly browned, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add minced garlic and Italian Herb Blend, cooking for another 1-2 minutes.
- Add drained tomatoes and the shrimp bouillon mixture, simmering over low heat for about 10 minutes.
- While the mixture simmers, wash the spinach if needed.
- In another frying pan, heat the second tablespoon of oil, add spinach, turning until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, add shrimp and capers, cooking until the shrimp are pink and firm, about 3-4 minutes.
- Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Divide wilted spinach into bowls and top with shrimp mixture. Serve hot.
Notes
- Most shrimp comes deveined now, even when they’re in the shell.
- If you don’t have shrimp bouillon, use chicken or fish stock reduced to 1/2 cup.
- This recipe can be served over pasta or rice if desired.
