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

  1. Thaw shrimp overnight in the fridge or in a plastic bag in cool water.
  2. Peel away shells and remove the vein from the shrimp if needed.
  3. Drain the tomatoes into a colander and let most of the juice drain off.
  4. Chop the green pepper and onion, and prepare the garlic, capers, and Italian Herb Blend.
  5. Dissolve the Knorr Shrimp Bouillon cube in hot water.
  6. 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).
  7. Add the minced garlic and Italian Herb Blend, cooking for 1-2 more minutes.
  8. Add the drained tomatoes and 1/2 cup of shrimp bouillon mixture. Simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes.
  9. Wash the spinach in a salad spinner if needed.
  10. Heat the second tablespoon of olive oil in another frying pan, add the spinach, and wilt it for 1-2 minutes.
  11. Add the shrimp and capers to the tomato mixture and cook until shrimp are pink and firm (about 3-4 minutes). Don’t overcook!
  12. Season with salt and fresh-ground black pepper to taste.
  13. 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.
