Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
1 cup coconut milk or heavy cream
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 cups cooked rice
Fresh spinach leaves (a handful)
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
Cook Shrimp:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper, then add to the skillet. Cook until shrimp are pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove shrimp from skillet and set aside.
Sauté Vegetables:
In the same skillet, add more oil if needed, then add garlic, onion, and red bell pepper. Sauté until the onions are translucent and peppers are slightly soft, about 5 minutes.
Make the Sauce:
Stir in the diced tomatoes with their juice, basil, and oregano. Bring to a simmer and let cook for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend.
Add Cream:
Pour in coconut milk or heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring the sauce back to a gentle simmer, then add the cooked rice and fresh spinach. Stir until the spinach wilts and the rice is heated through.
Combine Shrimp:
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet, stirring into the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to ensure everything is hot.
Serve:
Season with additional salt and pepper if needed. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley
