Shrimp Creole
This is a tasty and simple meal that is actually made in the microwave! 

Ingredients

• 4 green onions (thinly sliced) - I didn't have any, but 1/4 cup chopped onion work great too.  I also threw in a handful of chopped chives from my herb garden.
• 1/3 cup chopped celery
• 1 cup chopped green pepper
• 2 Tbsp. butter
• 1/2 tsp. minced garlic
• 2 cans stewed tomatoes (chopped)
• 1 can diced tomatoes (drained)
• 1 6 oz. can of tomato paste
• 1 tsp. salt
• 2 tsp. dried parsley flakes
• 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
• 12 oz. package of small frozen, cooked and pealed shrimp - thawed
• rice cooked separately, according to directions (I made about 5 cups of white rice)

Directions
In 2 1/2 quart casserole dish, combine onions, celery, green peppers, butter and garlic.  Cook in the microwave on high for 3 minutes (or until onions are transparent).  Stir in everything else, but not the shrimp.  Cook covered for 5 minutes.  Stir and cook covered for another 4 minutes.  Stir in the thawed shrimp and cook for 3 more minutes.  Serve over hot, cooked rice.
