Prepare this Big Easy dish that’s big on flavor! Shrimp, sautéed vegetables and spicy chiles combine in a zesty recipe that delivers the Cajun flavors of Louisiana. The delicious blend of canned tomatoes and spaghetti sauce also add plenty of vitamins A and C and lycopene. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons butter |
1 medium red bell pepper, coarsely chopped |
1 large onion, coarsely chopped |
1 cup thinly sliced celery |
1 (26 1/2 ounce) can traditional-flavor spaghetti sauce |
1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chilies |
2 lbs large shrimp, peeled and deveined |
Directions:
1. Melt the butter in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Stir in bell pepper, onion and celery. Cover and cook for 5 minutes, stirring 2 or 3 times, until vegetables are tender, yet still crisp.
2. Meanwhile, combine spaghetti sauce and diced tomatoes with chilies in a separate, medium saucepan over medium heat. Cover, bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
3. Add shrimp to the Dutch oven and increase heat to high. Cook 2 to 3 minutes while tossing, until shrimp are pink and just opaque in the center. Add sauce; stir well and return to a simmer. Serve shrimp over rice.
