Instructions: Saute onions, bell pepper, garlic, celery and tomatoes in margarine, covered, on Low for two hours. Just before serving, add remaining ingredients except green onion tops and cook for 5-10 minutes, until shrimp are cooked. Serve over hot rice, garnished with green onion tops, if desired. This makes a very generous 4 servings.

NOTES : This was absolutely delicious. I made some changes in the recipe. I cut the margarine from 1 1/2 stick to only 6 Tbsps., instead of 4 stalks of celery I used 2-3 and only 2 onions instead of 3; and I used only 1 1/4 pound shrimp. It was perfect. Nice company dish. Much of the work can be done well ahead of time and finishing up takes only about 5 minutes.
