A delicious Mediterranean-inspired dish featuring shrimp and spinach in a savory tomato and herb sauce.
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
- to taste salt
- to taste fresh-ground black pepper
- 1 pound raw jumbo shrimp, thawed and shelled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons capers
- 24 oz. spinach leaves
Instructions
- Thaw shrimp overnight in the fridge or in the plastic bag in cool water if needed.
- Peel away shells and remove the vein that runs along the back if needed.
- Drain the tomatoes into a colander placed in the sink and let most of the juice drain off.
- Chop green pepper and onion, and prepare 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 slightly browned, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the 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.
- While this simmers, wash the spinach in a salad spinner if needed.
- Heat the second tablespoon of oil in another frying pan, add the spinach, and sauté until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
- After 10 minutes of cooking the mixture, add the shrimp and capers. Cook until shrimp are pink and firm, about 3-4 minutes.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Divide the wilted spinach into four bowls and top each with 1/4 of the shrimp mixture.
- Serve hot.
Notes
- Most shrimp comes deveined; check before preparation.
- For an alternative, you can use chicken or fish stock instead of shrimp bouillon.
- Keep the spinach warm until serving to enhance flavor.
