Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (14 oz.) petite diced tomatoes, drained
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (or slightly less for non-stick pan)
- 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
- to taste salt and fresh-ground black pepper
- 1 pound raw jumbo shrimp, thawed and shelled and deveined if needed
- 2 tablespoons capers
- 24 ounces spinach leaves
Instructions
- Thaw shrimp overnight in the fridge or in a plastic bag in cool water if needed.
- Peel away shells and remove the vein from the shrimp 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 garlic, capers, and Italian Herb Blend.
- Dissolve the Knorr Shrimp Bouillon cube in hot water.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large frying pan, add green bell pepper and onion, and sauté over medium-high heat until starting to slightly brown, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add minced garlic and Italian Herb Blend, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Add drained tomatoes and the shrimp bouillon mixture, and simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes until flavors concentrate.
- Wash the spinach if needed.
- In another frying pan, heat the second tablespoon of oil and add spinach, turning until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add shrimp and capers to the tomato mixture, and cook until shrimp is 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.
Notes
- Most shrimp comes deveined now, but check and remove the vein that runs along the back if needed.
- Use chicken or fish stock instead of shrimp bouillon if preferred.
