I whipped this up on a recent hunting trip and it turned out great.
Feeds 4
2 ½ lb peeled & devained large shrimp, ( 36/40 )
2, 28 oz cans diced tomatoes
1, small can tomato paste
1 or 2 each Jalapeno peppers
½ stalk celery
2 large bell peppers ( 2 green or 1 green and 1 red )
2 med yellow onions ( or 1 large )
1 oz olive oil
Cajon seasoning
White rice ( 4 cups minuet rice )
Dice the Jalapenos very fine, and the celery, bell peppers and onions into ½ inch pieces. Then brown all fresh veggies in olive oil until “al dente” (starting to get soft, but still kinda crunchy ).
Dump all veggies, canned tomatoes and tomato paste in a large stew pot, stir and bring it to a boil and then let it simmer 10 minuets.
While its simmering, make the rice.
Five minuets before the rice is ready, crank the stew pot to a full boil, and dump in the shrimp, stirring constantly.. Watch the shrimp, and as soon as they turn opaque, they are done.
Season it to taste with Cajon seasoning, and serve over rice.

You can add just about any other kind of seafood you want to make this a seafood stew. I added 1 lb crab meat and it was great. A firm fish like swordfish or halibut, cut into 1” pieces would work good. Smoked clams, oysters or scallops.
