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, shelled, and deveined if needed
- 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 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 the green bell pepper and onion, and sauté over medium-high heat until slightly browned (about 3-4 minutes).
- Add the minced garlic and Italian Herb Blend and cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Add the drained tomatoes and 1/2 cup shrimp bouillon mixture and simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes.
- While this simmers, wash the spinach if needed.
- In another frying pan, heat the second tablespoon of oil, add the spinach, and turn until wilted (1-2 minutes).
- After the mixture has cooked for about 10 minutes, add the shrimp and capers and cook until the shrimp are pink and firm (about 3-4 minutes).
- Season to taste with salt and fresh-ground black pepper.
- Divide the wilted spinach into four bowls and top each with 1/4 of the shrimp mixture.
- Serve hot.
Notes
- Most shrimp comes deveined now, but check for any remaining veins.
- Capers can be adjusted according to taste.
