Time to cook....

Happy Wednesday to you! 

It is time for a recipe!  I made this to serve on Friday when our family was visiting.  Creole Shrimp seemed to fit well with the Mardi Gras theme.

I have had this recipe for quite a number of years.  It is from Betty Crocker.

CREOLE SHRIMP
1/2 cup minced onion
1 T. butter (I used olive oil instead.)
1 bay leaf, crumbled
1/4 cup diced celery
1 teaspoon minced parsley
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
dash cayenne
1 teaspoon salt
1 can (6-oz.) tomato paste
2 1/2 cups water
1 lb. shrimp, shelled and deveined
- Saute onion in butter.  Blend in rest of ingredients except shrimp.  Cook slowly, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes.  Stir in shrimp.  Cook five minutes.  Serve over rice.

Very tasty!

Some of our main roads were treated with brine on Tuesday in anticipation of some predicted light snowfall overnight.   So - that much was ready for the possible snow.  As I am pre-scheduling this post, it remains to be seen just what kind of weather will greet us on Wednesday morning.:-)  I'll be sure to let you know.:-)

Thank you for reading.  I really appreciate your comments.
