Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup chopped onions
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 1 cup chopped orange peppers or any color you prefer
  • 2 tbs. grapeseed oil Or use any oil you have on hand! I like grapeseed oil because it's good for high heat and it doesn't have flavor so it won't change the way the dish tastes.
  • 1 can stewed tomatoes
  • 1 can tomato soup We use the creamy tomato soup by Pacific Foods because it's gluten-free but my mom uses Campbell's. They both are great depending on your dietary needs.
  • 2 lb. frozen bag of cooked tail-off shrimp thawed prior to making this! See my thawing hack in the blog post text. Also, we like to buy the frozen bags from Trader Joe's.
  • You're favorite kind of rice - white rice is our preferred variety to use!

Method
 

  1. Put chopped veggies in a nonstick stove-top pan on medium-high heat and sauté with oil until semi-soft.
  2. Pour the can of stewed tomatoes and the can of tomato soup into pan.
  3. Mix well over veggies and smash stewed tomatoes in pan.
  4. Let simmer for 10-15 minutes. (stirring every few minutes)
  5. Pour all the thawed and washed shrimp into pan. Mix well and continue to simmer for about 3-5 minutes.
  6. Done! Take the pan off of the heat and serve over rice.
