INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 4 pounds fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 cup margarine, divided
  • 2 cups minced onion
  • 3 cups sliced celery
  • 3 cups diced green bell pepper
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 3 1/2 cups water

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Blend well. Cover and place in the refrigerator.
  2. In a large pot over medium heat, melt 1/2 cup of margarine and add the onions. Saute the onions until they are translucent.
  3. Stir in the celery and bell pepper. Increase the heat to high and stir occasionally for 20 minutes. Add the remaining 1/2 cup of margarine and bring to a boil. Fold in the shrimp and reduce heat to medium cook for 10 minutes.
