ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 lbs medium shrimp, peeled deveined
- 2 medium onions, chopped
- 1 green pepper, 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
directions
- 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.

I decided to re-do my "about me" page. The
first one has been up since I joined in 2005. The other page was kind of long and strung out, so I decided to condense. I am originally from New Orleans and have also lived in Florida for many years. We recently moved back to the panhandle of FL after living for many years in Jacksonville. It is great to be back over here where the pace is slower and the people are nicer! I come from a long line of good cooks, and learned a lot from them, and I love to cook. Although I am not much of a baker, other than a decent pound cake or key lime pie. We like spicy food, but not so hot that you can't taste what the dish is really about.
At this moment I am not working, but I am the caregiver for my elderly Mom. It has been nice to have the time to really cook and enjoy it, not just be trying to get something on the table. I have had time to garden and other things I just didn't really have time for when I worked. I may never go back to work :)
I enjoy going to antique stores, thrift stores, estate sales and auctions. I collect a lot of different things so I am always looking for that "special" thing.
I love all animals and I feed the birds, squirels, bunnies and just about anything else that comes along.
I have 3 dogs, all rescues, and one big black cat who wandered up and decided he liked living with us and stayed Editing to add that I am down to 2 dogs now, sadly my Boomer left for the Rainbow Bridge on 6/22/09. RIP old friend I will always miss you.
