Hello dear cooking partners. This is a family recipe that we have been using for as long as I can remember. Family recipes make me feel so warm and I really hope this can do the same for you and yours. Even better, there's no magic or voodoo to it! It is so simple but so flavorful. The original version is from the Ralph and Kacoo's Cookbook which contains all things Cajun. Since I do not have my own copy of the book, I sort of just winged it and here is what I came up with.
1/2 stick of butter
2 garlic cloves diced
1/2 onion diced
1/2 green bell pepper diced
1/2 red bell pepper diced
1 pint cherry tomatoes diced
1/2 pound of peeled and deveined shrimp
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Salt and Pepper to taste
Parmesan to garnish
Saute the butter, garlic, onion, peppers until tender. Add the tomatoes and saute until tender and juices run out. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Stir in the parsley and cook for about 1 more minute. Then add your shrimp and saute until just pink. This part is very important! If you overcook your shrimp they will be tough and will lose their sweetness. Serve immediately over your favorite starch. We always use brown rice or angel hair pasta. Sprinkle some parmesan and more parsley if you wish.
Enjoy this fine family recipe from "Who Dat?" nation!
