- 1/2 cup finely diced yellow onion
- 1/2 cup finely diced green bell pepper
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Lawry's Seasoned Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground chili powder
- 2 plum tomatoes, sliced 1/2-inch thick

- 1 pound uncooked jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup white wine
- 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice

Preparation
1. Melt butter in large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Sauté garlic, onion, bell pepper, seasoned salt and chili powder until peppers are soft, about 3 minutes.
2. Add tomatoes, green onions and thyme, season with salt and pepper and cook until tomatoes soften slightly, about 1 minute.
3. Turn heat to high and toss shrimp into pan, cooking until pink. Add flour until well combined. Add wine and lemon juice and cook on high for about 1 minute or until sauce reduces slightly.
4. To serve, spoon shrimp in sauce onto beds of rice and sprinkle with chopped chives, if desired.
Cooking hints:
Shrimp are easy to cook, but they do cook quickly. Throw them last into whatever you are cooking so that they don't get rubbery.
Seasoned salt is a great way to get a lot of seasoning in one bottle!
Mix up your flavors by serving this dish with Dirty Rice.
Always keep a bag of peeled and deveined shrimp in your freezer. Then you're ready to turn any mid-week dinner into a seafood treat!
