Ingredients
Scale
- 14 oz. can petite diced tomatoes, drained
- 2 T olive oil
- 1 large green bell pepper, diced in 1/2 inch pieces
- 1/2 large onion, diced in 1/2 inch pieces
- 1 tsp. finely minced garlic
- 1 tsp. Italian Herb Blend
- 1/2 cup water with one cube Knorr Shrimp Bouillon
- 1 lb. raw jumbo shrimp, thawed and shelled and deveined
- 2 T capers
- 24 oz. spinach leaves
Instructions
- Thaw shrimp overnight in the fridge or use cool water if in a pinch.
- Peel away shells and remove the vein from the shrimp if needed.
- Drain the tomatoes into a colander and let most juice drain off.
- Chop green pepper and onion, and prepare the garlic, capers, and Italian Herb Blend.
- Dissolve the Knorr Shrimp Bouillon cube in hot water, or simmer chicken or fish stock until reduced to 1/2 cup.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large frying pan, add green bell pepper and onion, sauté for 3-4 minutes until slightly brown.
- Add minced garlic and Italian Herb Blend, cook for 1-2 minutes more.
- Add drained tomatoes and 1/2 cup shrimp bouillon mixture, simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes.
- Wash spinach in a salad spinner if needed.
- In another frying pan, heat the second tablespoon of oil, add spinach, and wilt for 1-2 minutes.
- After the pepper mixture has cooked about 10 minutes, add shrimp and capers, cooking until shrimp is pink and firm, about 3-4 minutes.
- Season to taste with salt and fresh-ground black pepper.
- Divide wilted spinach into four bowls and top with 1/4 of the shrimp mixture.
- Serve hot.
Notes
- Use 1 cup chicken or fish stock reduced to 1/2 cup if you don’t have shrimp bouillon.
