Description
A delicious Mediterranean-inspired dish featuring shrimp, spinach, and flavorful ingredients.
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
- 2 tablespoons capers
- 24 oz. spinach leaves
Instructions
- Thaw shrimp overnight in the fridge or in a plastic bag in cool water.
- Peel away shells and remove the vein from the shrimp if needed.
- Drain the tomatoes into 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.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large frying pan. Add the green bell pepper and onion, and sauté over medium-high heat until slightly browned (about 3-4 minutes).
- Add the minced garlic and Italian Herb Blend, cooking for 1-2 more minutes.
- Add the drained tomatoes and 1/2 cup of shrimp bouillon mixture. Simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes.
- Wash the spinach in a salad spinner if needed.
- Heat the second tablespoon of olive oil in another frying pan, add the spinach, and wilt it for 1-2 minutes.
- Add the shrimp and capers to the tomato mixture and cook until shrimp are pink and firm (about 3-4 minutes). Don’t overcook!
- Season with salt and fresh-ground black pepper to taste.
- Divide wilted spinach into four bowls and top with the shrimp mixture. Serve hot.
Notes
- For a less oily preparation, use slightly less oil if using a non-stick pan.
- Most shrimp come deveined, but if not, ensure to remove the vein along the back.
- Use chicken or fish stock if you don’t have shrimp bouillon.
