• 1/2 lb. uncooked medium shrimp ( I use cooked shrimp)

• Hot cooked rice

Directions

In a large skillet, saute the green pepper, onion, celery and garlic in oil until tender. In a small bowl, combine the clam juice or broth, and tomato paste; add to the pan along with parsley and seasonings. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, stir in shrimp. Simmer uncovered, for 15 - 20 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Reduce simmering time if using cooked shrimp if desired. Serve over rice.
