Can't you just hear the twinge of my accent with this one? My copy is so worn that I will print one from this site. Truly delicious. Serve with rice. A great company dish.
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp. oil shopping list
- 2 Tbsp. flour shopping list
- 2 onions shopping list
- 1 green pepper shopping list
- 2 cans tomato sauce (15 oz) shopping list
- 2 cloves garlic shopping list
- 1/2 tsp red pepper shopping list

- 1/4 tsp powdered thyme shopping list

- 2 lbs raw shrimp shopping list
- few lemon slices shopping list
- 2 tsp W-shire sauce shopping list

How to make it
- In a heavy pot with a lid, make a roux with the oil and the flour.
- When brown add chopped onions and green peppers.
- Saute, stirring constantly, until onions are slightly brown.
- Then add tomato sauce and all of the seasonings.
- Cook very slowly, for you will not add water unless necessary (shrimp, to be added last, adds 40% water).
- When the tomato mixture is perfectly blended, in about 45 minutes, add shrimp and lemon.
- Cover and continue cooking for 30 minutes.
- Add W-shire sauce and cook 15 minutes more.
- Add finely chopped parsely and green onions the last 5 minutes before serving. (These not only add color but much more tasty than when fully cooked.)

Sounds great. Will exchange it for the less "seasoned" one that I now use. Thanks for sharing. Big 5 from me! - Susana
