Simple to make, yet good enough to serve when company is coming. Serve over hot fluffy rice with french bread. I always asked for this dish when Maw Maw asked me what I wanted her to cook for me.

Time 50m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons butter
2 lbs medium shrimp, peeled deveined
2 medium onions, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped
3 teaspoons minced garlic
2 (10 1/2 ounce) cans condensed tomato soup, I prefer Campbells
2 (14 ounce) cans diced tomatoes, petite are best
3 bay leaves
cajun seasoning
Tabasco sauce

Steps:

  • Saute Onion, Peppers, celery and garlic in butter until they are softened up some.
  • Do not cook until they are completely done.
  • Add Tomato Soups, diced tomatoes (do not drain) and seasonings.
  • Simmer until it thickens up some and all flavors have married & veggies are soft.
  • Add shrimp at the end and cook until they turn pink. Stir to incorporate shrimp into the dish. DO NOT OVERCOOK!
  • Remove bay leaves, and serve over hot fluffy rice with french bread.
  • It is better if you don't chop the vegetables too fine.
  • You can make as spicy as you like with the seasonings.
  • If it is too thick, thin down with a little water, sometimes you need it and sometimes the veggies and shrimp thin it down enough.
