INSTRUCTIONS
  • Melt butter and sauté onion, parsley, celery and bell pepper until tender.

  • Add can of tomatoes and tomato sauce, garlic, pepper .

  • Simmer for a few minutes and add Worcestershire sauce, salt and about 6 dashes of Louisiana Hot Sauce.

  • Continue to simmer allowing flavors to meld together. 20 – 30 minutes.

  • While this is simmering cook your white rice; peel out your raw shrimp - I like to leave the tail on - but that is a personal choice.

  • In the last 5 minutes add the shrimp and gently stir until the shrimp are a bright pink with NO translucent quality.... shrimp should be white and meaty with a lovely pink cast to them.

  • Serve over a bed of steaming hot rice.

YUM
