Description

A delicious dish featuring shrimp, spinach, and a blend of flavors.


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 (or 1 cup chicken or fish stock reduced to 1/2 cup)
  • 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

  1. Thaw shrimp overnight in the fridge or thaw in the plastic bag in cool water if needed.
  2. Peel away shells and remove the vein that runs along the back if needed.
  3. Drain the tomatoes into a colander and let the juice drain off.
  4. Chop the green pepper and onion, and prepare the garlic, capers, and Italian Herb Blend.
  5. Dissolve the Knorr Shrimp Bouillon cube in hot water (in the microwave if needed) or if using stock, measure and simmer until reduced.
  6. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large frying pan, add the green bell pepper and onion, and sauté over medium-high heat until starting to brown, about 3-4 minutes.
  7. Add the minced garlic and Italian Herb Blend, and cook for 1-2 minutes more.
  8. Add the drained tomatoes and 1/2 cup shrimp bouillon mixture and simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes.
  9. While this simmers, wash the spinach if needed.
  10. Heat the second tablespoon of oil in another large frying pan, add the spinach and turn until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
  11. After 10 minutes of cooking the tomato mixture, add the shrimp and capers, cook until the shrimp is pink and firm, about 3-4 minutes.
  12. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  13. Divide the wilted spinach into bowls and top each with 1/4 of the shrimp mixture.
  14. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Most shrimp comes deveined now, even when they’re in the shell.
  • Use reduced chicken or fish stock if you don’t have shrimp bouillon.
