Time 50m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

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.
