MARINATED CAJUN SHRIMP

Category: Cold

1/2 lemon, peeled
1/3 cup water
1 small onion, chopped
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp cooking oil
2 clove garlic, minced
1 tbsp Cajun seasoning
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 lbs peeled raw shrimp
1/2 cup chopped green or red pepper


Combine all ingredients except shrimp and peppers in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Add shrimp, stirring to coat. Return to boiling then reduce heat and simmer, covered, about 4 minutes or until shrimp are opaque, stirring twice. Stir in pepper.

Transfer mixture to a glass bowl. Cover and marinade in the refrigerator for 4 hours, stirring occasionally. At serving time, drain mixture and serve in a lettuce-lined bowl with toothpicks.
