Description

A delightful shrimp dish prepared with tomatoes, spinach, and a mix of herbs.


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 if needed
  • 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 a 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 placed in the sink 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.
  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 for another 1-2 minutes.
  8. Add the drained tomatoes and 1/2 cup shrimp bouillon mixture and simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes.
  9. While simmering, wash the spinach in a salad spinner if needed.
  10. In another frying pan, heat the second tablespoon of oil, add spinach, and use a large turner to wilt the spinach.
  11. Add the shrimp and capers to the tomato mixture and cook until shrimp is pink and firm, about 3-4 minutes.
  12. Season with salt and fresh-ground black pepper.
  13. Divide the wilted spinach into four bowls and top with 1/4 of the shrimp mixture.
  14. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Use chicken or fish stock if shrimp bouillon is not available.
