Microwave recipes are my weakness since I got my convection oven. They are wonderfully easy and that is a plus. This is delicious and the use of canned tomatoes and frozen shrimp make this inexpensive as well. Great for company too! Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1 cup chopped onion |
1 cup celery, thinly sliced |
1 cup green pepper, chopped |
1 garlic clove, crushed |
3/4 teaspoon thyme |
1/2 lb medium frozen shrimp, thawed, peeled, and halved lengthwise |
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can cajun-style stewed tomatoes |
1/4 cup tomato paste |
Directions:
1. Combine oil, onion, celery, green pepper, garlic and thyme in 1-1/2 quart microwavable dish.
2. Cover and cook on high 3 minutes or until tender-crisp.
3. Add shrimp, stewed tomatoes and tomato paste.
4. Cook on high 6 minutes, stirring halfway through or until shrimp is pink.
5. Serve with rice, if desired.
