CHAR'S SHRIMP PILOO (peeloo)

Things you will need:

• 2 - 3 pounds of  large, peeled shrimp (the more shrimp the merrier for me)
• 4 c. uncooked rice
• 1 stick margarine or butter
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 1 large bell pepper, chopped
• 2 TB minced/chopped garlic
• 1 can cream of chicken soup
• 1 can of onion soup
• 1 10 oz. can of diced tomatoes and green chilies (Rotel type)
• Cajun seasoning (to taste)
• 24 oz. of tomato sauce
• a large magnalite type roaster with cover

Saute veggies in butter till tender, add remaining ingredients one at a time and mix well after each addition.  I PROMISE YOU WON'T BE SORRY -- that is IF YOU LOVE SHRIMP.  This definitely looks and even smells HORRIBLE, but.....you have my word, it's absolutely DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!

Anyway, bake in covered roaster at 350, stirring quite often to prevent scortching -- cooking time varies.  The dish is done when the rice is!  I know that doesn't make any sense (it never did to me, either, but.........)!  Good luck!  I've only messed up once -- where I didn't leave it in long enough and some of the rice just wasn't tender -- stirring often is really important.  Oh well -- we all make mistakes.  This is a definite kitchen warmer-upper, but it's worth it IN MY HUMBLE BUT HONEST OPINION!

This is my most favorite shrimp dish, and my only regret is that I can't make it every week!!!!  I'd love to hear some feedback after yall try it out.
