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 (or 1 cup chicken or fish stock reduced to 1/2 cup if using stock)
- Salt and fresh-ground black pepper to taste
- 1 lb. raw jumbo shrimp, thawed, shelled, and deveined
- 2 T capers (or less)
- 24 oz. spinach leaves
Instructions
- Thaw shrimp overnight in the fridge or in the plastic bag in cool water if in a pinch.
- Peel away shells and remove the vein that runs along the back if needed.
- Drain the tomatoes into a colander placed in the sink and let most of the 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 reduce chicken or fish stock 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 browned, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add minced garlic and Italian Herb Blend and cook for 1-2 minutes more.
- Add drained tomatoes and 1/2 cup shrimp bouillon mixture or reduced stock, and simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes.
- While this simmers, wash spinach in a salad spinner if needed.
- Heat second tablespoon of oil in another large frying pan, add spinach, and turn over until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add shrimp and capers to the cooked mixture and cook until shrimp are 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 each with 1/4 of the shrimp mixture.
- Serve hot.
