A delicious Mediterranean dish featuring shrimp and spinach, enhanced with tomatoes and 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
- to taste salt and fresh-ground black pepper
- 1 lb. raw jumbo shrimp, thawed, shelled, and deveined
- 2 tablespoons capers
- 24 oz. spinach leaves
Instructions
- Thaw shrimp overnight in the fridge or use cool water in a bag if in a pinch.
- Peel away shells and remove the vein from the shrimp if needed.
- Drain the tomatoes into a colander and let the juice drain off.
- Chop the green pepper and onion, prepare the garlic, capers, and Italian Herb Blend.
- Dissolve the Knorr Shrimp Bouillon cube in hot water, or reduce chicken/fish stock to 1/2 cup.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large frying pan, sauté green bell pepper and onion over medium-high heat until slightly browned (about 3-4 minutes).
- Add the minced garlic and Italian Herb Blend, cooking for 1-2 minutes more.
- Add the drained tomatoes and 1/2 cup shrimp bouillon mixture (or reduced stock) and simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes.
- While it simmers, wash the spinach in a salad spinner if needed.
- In another frying pan, heat the second tablespoon of oil, add spinach, and turn over until wilted (1-2 minutes).
- After the tomato mixture simmers, add shrimp and capers, cooking just until shrimp is pink and firm (3-4 minutes).
- Season to taste with salt and fresh-ground black pepper.
- Divide wilted spinach into bowls and top with shrimp mixture. Serve hot.
Notes
- This recipe uses shrimp that can be deveined, buy if not already deveined for convenience.
- Adjust olive oil amounts if using a non-stick pan.
- Can substitute chicken or fish stock for bouillon, simmered down to 1/2 cup.
