Ingredients

• 2 pounds raw Rock Shrimp peeled and deveined (See Note below)
• 1/4 cup Butter
• 1/2 cup Green Bell Pepper diced to 1/2 inch
• 1/2 cup Onion diced to 1/4 inch
• 1/4 cup Celery chopped fine
• 1 cloves Garlic minced
• 2 tablespoons All Purpose Flour
• 14 1/2 ounces Whole Canned Tomatoes roughly chopped
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1/4 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground Black Pepper to taste
• 3 - 4 cups cooked White Rice or Wild Rice Mixture

Instructions

• Rinse shrimp briefly. Remove any large veins that are visible.
• In a small sauce pan, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat.
• Mix in flour and stir until dissolved and mixture begins to thicken, then reduce heat.
• Add tomatoes and their juice to the butter and flour mixture. Stir well and heat through. The mixture will thicken. Hold warm.
• In a large skillet, melt two tablespoons of butter and, over medium-high heat, cook bell pepper, onion, celery and garlic until soft, but with a little bit of a crunch.
• Add shrimp. Cook until no longer transparent, about 3 minutes.
• Add tomato mixture. Bring to a boil. Cover and let simmer for 5 minutes.
• Serve over hot rice.

If rock shrimp are only available cooked, then add the shrimp and the tomato mixture at the same time.

Add a Cajun-style sausage when cooking the vegetables for an extra Cajun flair.

Cajun- or Louisiana-style seasoning can be used instead of, or along with, salt, cayenne pepper and black pepper.

Serve with French or Sourdough Bread.
