Shrimp New Orleans

Mom’s Shrimp New Orleans

Mom used to make this a lot when we were in university. Then, twenty years later, I served it to them when they were visiting us in Florida. Mom said “This is delicious! I want the recipe!” It was HER recipe I was using!

It is quick and very easy – it will make you LOOK like a good cook. And – every ingredient is available in Kuwait.

1 medium onion, chopped
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup uncooked regular rice
2 Tablespoons butter

Melt butter, add other ingredients above and cook, stirring in large skillet for 5 minutes.

1 can Tomatoes (28 oz)
1 package Spaghetti sauce mix

Stir above into skillet, heat to boiling. Reduce heat and simmer about 25 minutes, until rice is tender.

1 can artichoke hearts (14 oz)
1 lb shrimp

Stir into rice mixture and cook for 5 minutes.

You can spice this up a little more if it is too bland for you. It easily feeds 6 people with a salad and garlic bread or dinner rolls.
