Cajun Shrimp Gumbo

Ingredients

  • 1  onion
  • 1  green pepper
  • 2  cloves garlic
  • 1/4  c  butter
  • corn (32 ounces frozen or 1 can)
  • 1  can Rotel Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies
  • 1  Tbsp  sugar
  • 1  tsp  salt
  • 1/4  tsp  pepper
  • dash  cayenne pepper
  • 1/2  large can canned milk (make sure to use canned milk)
  • 1/4  c  chopped green onions
  • 2  pound(s)  shrimp (shelled or canned or frozen)
  • corn starch

Preparation

Chop the onion, green pepper and garlic cloves. Sauté onion, pepper & garlic in butter to a tender crisp. Add corn, tomatoes, sugar, and salt & pepper and heat for 10 minutes. Add canned milk and green onions and heat 4-5 minutes. Add shrimp at the right time, (adjust the time if using raw or cooked shrimp), you do not want to over cook the shrimp. Make a paste using the cornstarch and some water to thicken. Serve over Rice. If you don't like spicy, use Rotel mild diced tomatoes & green chilies and cut back on the Cayenne. This recipe is very versatile because you can use canned corn, canned shrimp and you can prepare the veggies at home.
