Aunt Saunny
1/2 of a lemon
1/3 cup water
1 small onion, chopped (1/3 cup)
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon cooking oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
1/4 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 pounds fresh or frozen peeled medium shrimp (about 2 pounds in
the shell)
1/2 cup chopped green or red sweet pepper
Lettuce leaves
Carefully remove peel from the lemon half, being careful not to include
the white portion. Cut the lemon peel into very thin strips. Combine
lemon peel, water, onion, lemon juice, cooking oil, garlic, Cajun
seasoning, and salt in a large skillet; heat to boiling. Add shrimp stirring
to coat. Return to boiling. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, about 4
minutes or until shrimp are opaque, stirring twice. Stir in green or red
pepper. Transfer mixture to a glass bowl. Cover and marinate in the
refrigerator for 4 hours, stirring the mixture occasionally. At serving
time, drain mixture well. Serve in a lettuce-lined bowl with serving
picks. Makes 12 servings. Serves 12
