  • 4 stars - Started making this when I lived in Anaheim in the early 70's. Money was tight then and I used to cut the shrimp in half lengthwise so that I got what looked like double the amount of shrimp when presented! - ME 1/22/2007

Preparation

Step 1

1. Cook Veggies in oil till tender. Add tomatoes, paste, water & seasonings. Simmer 25 mins. Stir in Shrimp and heat. Serve over Rice with salad and warm rolls.

COOK'S NOTES: I used to make this during my "single" days when the budget was tight. To give the impression of "lots" of Shrimp, I used to cut them in half the long way so it looked like the shrimp was doubled!!
