Description

A delicious shrimp dish featuring spinach, tomatoes, and herbs.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 14 oz. can petite diced tomatoes, drained
  • 2 T olive oil
  • 1 large green bell pepper, diced in 1/2 inch pieces
  • 1/2 large onion, diced in 1/2 inch pieces
  • 1 tsp. finely minced garlic
  • 1 tsp. Italian Herb Blend
  • 1/2 cup water with one cube Knorr Shrimp Bouillon
  • salt and fresh-ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 lb. raw jumbo shrimp, thawed and shelled and deveined if needed
  • 2 T capers
  • 24 oz. spinach leaves

Instructions

  1. Thaw shrimp overnight in the fridge or thaw 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 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, or if using stock, measure 1 cup and simmer until reduced to 1/2 cup.
  6. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large frying pan, add green bell pepper and onion, and sauté over medium-high heat until starting to brown, about 3-4 minutes.
  7. Add minced garlic and Italian Herb Blend and cook for 1-2 minutes more.
  8. Add drained tomatoes and 1/2 cup shrimp bouillon mixture, and simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes.
  9. Wash spinach in a salad spinner if needed.
  10. Heat the second tablespoon of oil in another large frying pan, add spinach all at once, and turn until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
  11. After the mixture has cooked about 10 minutes, add shrimp and capers, cooking 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 reduced chicken or fish stock if you don’t have shrimp bouillon.
  • Most shrimp comes deveined, but check for any remaining veins.
