Description
A delicious Mediterranean-style shrimp dish served over wilted spinach.
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 lb. raw jumbo shrimp, thawed and shelled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons capers
- 24 oz. spinach leaves
Instructions
- Thaw shrimp overnight in the fridge (or you can thaw 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 placed in the sink and let most of the juice drain off.
- Chop green pepper and onion, and get the garlic, capers, and Italian Herb Blend ready.
- 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 slightly brown, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and Italian Herb Blend and cook 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.
- Heat the second tablespoon of oil in another large frying pan, add the spinach all at once, and use a large turner to turn over until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add the shrimp and capers to the tomato mixture and cook just until the shrimp is pink and firm, about 3-4 minutes.
- Season to taste with salt and fresh-ground black pepper.
- Divide the wilted spinach into four bowls and top each with 1/4 of the shrimp mixture.
- Serve hot.
Notes
- Adjust seasoning to your preference.
- Fresh spinach can be substituted with frozen spinach.
