Description

A delicious Mediterranean dish featuring shrimp and spinach.


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

  1. Thaw shrimp overnight in the fridge or use cool water if in a pinch.
  2. Peel away shells and remove the vein from the shrimp if needed.
  3. Drain the tomatoes into a colander and let most 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 simmer chicken or fish stock until reduced to 1/2 cup.
  6. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large frying pan, add green bell pepper and onion, sauté for 3-4 minutes until slightly brown.
  7. Add minced garlic and Italian Herb Blend, cook for 1-2 minutes more.
  8. Add 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.
  10. In another frying pan, heat the second tablespoon of oil, add spinach, and wilt for 1-2 minutes.
  11. After the pepper mixture has cooked about 10 minutes, add shrimp and capers, cooking until shrimp is pink and firm, about 3-4 minutes.
  12. Season to taste with salt and fresh-ground black pepper.
  13. Divide wilted spinach into four bowls and top with 1/4 of the shrimp mixture.
  14. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Use 1 cup chicken or fish stock reduced to 1/2 cup if you don’t have shrimp bouillon.
  • Most shrimp comes deveined, making preparation easier.
