- Add the drained tomatoes and 1/2 cup shrimp bouillon mixture and simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes.
- Wash the spinach in a salad spinner if needed.
- Heat the second tablespoon of oil in another frying pan, add the spinach and stir until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add the shrimp and capers to the tomato mixture and cook until shrimp are pink and firm, about 3-4 minutes.
- Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Divide wilted spinach into bowls and top with shrimp mixture.

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.
