Description

This delicious dish features jumbo shrimp sautéed with vegetables and served over wilted 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 pound raw jumbo shrimp, thawed, shelled and deveined if needed
  • 2 tablespoons capers
  • 24 ounces spinach leaves
  • Salt and fresh-ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Thaw shrimp overnight in the fridge or in cool water in a plastic bag 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 the 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 starting to 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. While this simmers, wash the spinach in a salad spinner if needed.
  10. Heat the second tablespoon of oil in another large frying pan, add the spinach all at once, and use a large turner to wilt the spinach, about 1-2 minutes.
  11. After the mixture has cooked, add the shrimp and capers, and cook until shrimp is pink and firm, about 3-4 minutes.
  12. Season to taste with salt and fresh-ground black pepper.
  13. Divide wilted spinach into four bowls and top each with 1/4 of the shrimp mixture.
  14. Serve hot.

Notes

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