    Source of Recipe


    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
