Description

A delicious Mediterranean style 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 lb. raw jumbo shrimp, thawed, shelled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons capers
  • 24 oz. spinach leaves
  • Salt and fresh-ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Thaw shrimp overnight in the fridge (or in the plastic bag in cool water if needed).
  2. Peel away shells and remove the vein that runs along the back if needed.
  3. Drain the tomatoes into a colander and let most of the juice drain off.
  4. Chop green pepper and onion, and prepare the garlic, capers, and Italian Herb Blend.
  5. Dissolve the Knorr Shrimp Bouillon cube in hot water.
  6. 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 brown, about 3-4 minutes.
  7. Add the minced garlic and Italian Herb Blend and cook 1-2 minutes more.
  8. Add the drained tomatoes and 1/2 cup shrimp bouillon mixture and simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes.
  9. Wash the spinach in a salad spinner if needed.
  10. Heat the second tablespoon of oil in another frying pan, add the spinach and stir until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
  11. Add the shrimp and capers to the tomato mixture and cook until shrimp are pink and firm, about 3-4 minutes.
  12. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  13. Divide wilted spinach into bowls and top with shrimp mixture.
  14. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Use chicken or fish stock instead of shrimp bouillon if preferred.
  • Most shrimp comes deveined but check if you need to do it yourself.
