Description
A delicious Mediterranean dish featuring shrimp and spinach.
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
Instructions
- Thaw shrimp overnight in the fridge or in a plastic bag in cool water.
- Peel away shells and remove the vein along the back if needed.
- Drain the tomatoes in a colander and let most of the juice drain off.
- Chop green pepper and onion, and prepare garlic, capers, and Italian Herb Blend.
- Dissolve the Knorr Shrimp Bouillon cube in hot water or reduce stock by simmering 1 cup over medium heat until it’s reduced to 1/2 cup.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large frying pan, add green bell pepper and onion, and sauté over medium-high heat until slightly brown for about 3-4 minutes.
- Add minced garlic and Italian Herb Blend, cooking for another 1-2 minutes.
- Add drained tomatoes and 1/2 cup shrimp bouillon mixture, then simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes.
- While this simmers, wash the spinach as needed.
- In another large frying pan, heat the second tablespoon of oil, add spinach, and turn until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
- After the mixture has simmered for 10 minutes, add shrimp and capers, cooking just until shrimp is pink and firm for about 3-4 minutes.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Divide wilted spinach into four bowls and top each with 1/4 of the shrimp mixture.
- Serve hot.
Notes
- For non-stick pans, use slightly less olive oil.
- Most shrimp comes deveined; check if using shells.
- Use chicken or fish stock as a substitute for shrimp bouillon.
