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
- 2 tablespoons capers
- 24 ounces spinach leaves
- Salt and fresh-ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Thaw shrimp overnight in the fridge or in the plastic bag in cool water in a pinch.
- Peel away shells and remove the vein that runs along the back if needed.
- Drain the tomatoes into a colander and let most of the juice drain off.
- Chop green pepper and onion, and prepare the garlic, capers, and Italian Herb Blend.
- Dissolve the Knorr Shrimp Bouillon cube in hot water.
- 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 brown, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add minced garlic and Italian Herb Blend and cook for 1-2 minutes more.
- 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.
- In another frying pan, heat the second tablespoon of oil, add the spinach, and turn it over until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
- After the pepper mixture has cooked for 10 minutes, add the shrimp and capers and cook until shrimp is pink and firm, about 3-4 minutes.
- Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Divide wilted spinach into four bowls and top each with 1/4 of the shrimp mixture.
- Serve hot.
Notes
- Use 1 cup chicken or fish stock reduced to 1/2 cup if you don’t have shrimp bouillon.
- Most shrimp comes deveined, but check if needed.
- You can sauté the spinach towards the end of the cooking time for the pepper mixture to keep it hot.
