Category: Fish and Seafood

Boil mix
1/2 lemon
1/3 cup water
1 small onion, chopped

1 tbsp cooking oil
2 clove garlic, minced
1 tbsp Cajun seasoning
1/4 tsp salt

1 1/2 - 2 lbs shrimp, peeled

Carefully remove peel from lemon half, being carefully not to include the white portion. Cut peel into very thin strips. Combine peel with remaining boiling ingredients in a large skillet. Add shrimp, stirring to coat. Return to boiling. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, about 4 minute or until shrimp are opaque, stirring twice. Stir in bell pepper. Transfer to a glass bowl. Cover and marinate in refrigerator for 4 hours, stirring occasionally. At serving time, drain mixture well. Serve in a lettuce-lined bowl with serving picks. Serves 12
