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

- Salt and fresh-ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Thaw shrimp overnight in the fridge or in a plastic bag in cool water.
- Peel away shells and remove the vein along the back if needed.
- Drain the tomatoes in a colander and let most of the juice drain off.
- Chop the green pepper and onion, and prepare the garlic, capers, and Italian Herb Blend.
- Dissolve the Knorr Shrimp Bouillon cube in hot water (use microwave if needed) or reduce chicken/fish stock to 1/2 cup.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large frying pan, add green bell pepper and onion, and sauté over medium-high heat until slightly brown (about 3-4 minutes).
- Add the minced garlic and Italian Herb Blend, cooking an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Add the drained tomatoes and 1/2 cup shrimp bouillon mixture, simmering over low heat for about 10 minutes.
- While the mixture simmers, wash the spinach in a salad spinner if needed.
- Heat another tablespoon of oil in a separate frying pan, add spinach, and toss until wilted (1-2 minutes).
- After 10 minutes, add shrimp and capers to the tomato mixture and cook until shrimp are pink and firm (about 3-4 minutes).
- Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Divide wilted spinach among four bowls and top with shrimp mixture.
- Serve hot.
Notes
- Use 1 cup chicken or fish stock reduced to 1/2 cup if you don’t have shrimp bouillon.
- For best results, don’t overcook the shrimp.
- If using non-stick pans, use less olive oil.
