     1/2                chopped bell pepper
   2      cans          condensed cream of -- (10 3/4-oz each)
                        -- mushroom soup
   1      can           cream of celery -- (10 3/4-oz)
   1      can           tomato soup -- (8-oz)
   3      teaspoons     old bay brand crab boil seasoning
   1 1/2  pounds        frozen shrimp
   6                    shakes Tabasco -- (more/less)
                        hot boiled long grain rice

Preparation:

Sauté onions and bell pepper in margarine or butter until tender. Add cream of mushroom and celery (low-salt)soups, tomato sauce, and crab boil. Simmer 15 minutes, stirring often. Rinse shrimp in very hot water to break apart, drain and add to sauce. Simmer until shrimp are tender, approximately 10-15 minutes. You may wish to under cook the shrimp if you're going to chill then reheat the etouffee in the oven (at about 325 until warmed completely through; be sure to cover pan). Can double or triple recipe. Serve over boiled long-grain rice. The old bay brand seasoning is very salty so that is why you use the low-salt soups
