 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    1 1/2  cups          diced celery
    1 1/4  cups          chopped onion
      3/4  cup           chopped bell pepper
    1      (8 oz.) can   tomato sauce
    1      (28 oz.) can  whole tomatoes
    1      clove         garlic*
    1      teaspoon      salt
      1/4  teaspoon      pepper
    6      drops         Tabasco (opt.)
    1      pound         shrimp -- deveined & shelled
 
 
  *1 teaspoon garlic salt or 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder may be substituted.
 
  Combine all ingredients except shrimp.  Cook 3 to 4 hours on high or 6 to 
 8 hours on low.  Add shrimp last hour of cooking.  Serve over hot rice.  
 Chicken, rabbit or crawdads may be substituted for shrimp.
 
  Stove top version, if you don't have a crock pot.  Saute celery, onion 
 and bell peppers in oil or butter until tender.  (Better if left a bit 
 crunchy.)  Add remaining ingredients except meat being used.  Simmer at 
 least 30 minutes to an hour.  Add shrimp or whatever meat you wish and 
 simmer 30 minutes more.  This is even better reheated the next day.
