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

  1. Thaw shrimp overnight in the fridge or in a plastic bag in cool water.
  2. Peel away shells and remove the vein along the back if needed.
  3. Drain the tomatoes in a colander and let most of the juice drain off.
  4. Chop green pepper and onion, and prepare garlic, capers, and Italian Herb Blend.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Add minced garlic and Italian Herb Blend, cooking for another 1-2 minutes.
  8. Add drained tomatoes and 1/2 cup shrimp bouillon mixture, then simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes.
  9. While this simmers, wash the spinach as needed.
  10. In another large frying pan, heat the second tablespoon of oil, add spinach, and turn until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
  11. 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.
  12. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  13. Divide wilted spinach into four bowls and top each with 1/4 of the shrimp mixture.
  14. 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.
