Ingredients

1 med package uncooked, deveined shrimp* (approx 4-8 shrimp per person) -if frozen, thaw first
4 Tbsp Good Seasons Italian Vinaigrette with Extra Virgin Olive Oil Dressing
1 rib celery, diced
1 Tbsp minced garlic (equals approximately 3 cloves)
1 small onion, diced fine
1 cup carrots (can be thin sliced or even matchstick carrots)
Salt & pepper to taste
1 green bell pepper, seeded and diced into bite-size pieces
1 can diced tomatoes, undrained
3 Tbsp dried parsley - coarsely ground
2 Tbsp Creole seasoning
1 can (14 oz.) tomato sauce

Steps:

Thaw shrimp either in fridge overnight, or in colander with cool water running over it; when thawed, rinse and drain, then set aside. Pull tails off if still on.
In saucepan, heat Good Seasons Dressing on medium heat. Add celery, garlic, onion, carrot, salt and pepper - saute until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add green pepper, and continue cooking until pepper is tender-crisp. Add diced tomatoes, parsley, Creole seasoning, tomato sauce and 1/4 cup of water. Stir. Reduce heat to medium low, and simmer for 20 minutes.
Add shrimp and cook for an additional 5 minutes or until shrimp is pink & cooked. Serve over rice.
