I go by feel more that cups and teaspoons - this is one my mother had fed us when we were little - and we loved it! I cook it now and my kids love it! Try this and see! This takes time but it's good!

  • 2 cups minced onion
  • 3 cups sliced celery
  • 3 cups diced green bell pepper
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 3 ½ cups water
Directions
  1. 1. In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Blend well. Cover and place in the refrigerator.
  2. 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.
