I've been a vegetarian for more than 1/2 my life. This doesn't mean I don't have to buy, handle, prep, cook and serve any animals. For dinner the other night my grandmother wanted shrimp creole, not something I've ever made before. So, here's my experimental "shrimp and cream of tomato soup concoction.
1. thaw the shrimp, take of the tails. (This is the part that grossses me out.)
2. cut up an onion and green pepper, saute in butter or oil.
3. in seperate bowl mix 1 can of tomato soup, 1/2 can of water (I used spicy v8 because I needed to use it up.), a few drops of Tabasco and some ground pepper.
4. cook some rice, I used the microwave becasu I'm lazy.
5. add tomato soup mixture to the onion/pepper mixture. stir and heat until warm.
6. add shrimp (which should be precooked and than thawed) to mixture. cook until hot.
7. serve over rice.
My grandparents must have liked it, they are it all. I know it's not vegan stuffed peppers, but I guess they thought it was wonderful. As they had this little messy masterpiece, I scrubbed the shrimp residue off my hands and had easy mac. Classy, I know.
Next up, Butternut Squash Chili!
