This is a New Orleans classic.
Make a light brown roux using flour and oil. Add shrimp and cook 3 minutes over low heat. Add garlic, onion, green pepper and parsley and saute 2 minutes. Increase heat to medium and gradually add water while stirring. Add remaining ingredients, bring to a boil, then lower heat to simmer and cook for 1 hour. Stir occasionally. Serve over steaming rice.

Hello,
I felt that in reading over the ingredients and cooking time something didn’t make sense. I didn’t need 2 pounds and cut it down to my needs. I think a pod of garlic would have over powered the dish. Three cloves worked. I can’t imagine cooking (simmering) shrimp for an hour, a specially when there isn’t much to simmer. I added approximately a total of one and half cups of water.
The dinner turned out great. Thank you for your guidance.

I cooked your recipe today for dinner. I didn’t need two pounds of shrimp so I cut the recipe down. I don’t understand how you can simmer shrimp with no liquid for an hour. I added about one cup of water and simmered the food for about 15 minutes….It was great. Thank you.
