Shrimp Jambalaya

 

1/4 cup oil
1 large onion, chopped
3 pieces celery, chopped
1 bell pepper, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon red pepper
1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
3 cups water
1 1/2 cups raw rice
1 can (4 ½ oz) wet pack shrimp, drained (See NOTE)
2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Cook the first four ingredients over medium flame, stirring for 15 minutes. Do not brown. Add the salt, red pepper, tomato sauce and water. Cook down for 10 minutes over medium flame. Add rice, shrimp and parsley after removing from fire. Pour in 2 quart covered casserole and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until rice is done. Do not stir or uncover during cooking.

NOTE: If you use 1 pound of raw cleaned shrimp instead of canned shrimp, add with the tomato sauce when you cook it down for 10 minutes.
