Ingredients

  • 4 pounds fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

  • 1 cup margarine, divided

  • 2 cups minced onion

  • 3 cups sliced celery

  • 3 cups diced green bell pepper

  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch

  • 3 ½ cups water

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Blend well. Cover and place in the refrigerator.

  2. In a large pot over medium heat, melt 1/2 cup of margarine and add the onions. Saute the onions until they are translucent.
