Aunt Barbra's Firecracker Shrimp

"This recipe comes from my Aunt Barbra in Texas. I have made some minor adjustments to the recipe. The original recipe called for 1 cup of butter, I use 1/4 cup or feel free to use olive oil instead. A combination of the 2 will also work. You can control the heat of this dish by using either mild or spicy diced tomatoes."

  1. This recipe is absolutely awesome! : ) It is sooo easy to make, but tastes and looks like you spent hours on it. I made a few changes -- left out the regular onions and only used green onions, left out the celery (just our preference), I used fresh sauteed mushrooms and we used large shrimp. Will be making this dish often and I'm adding it my Best of 2014 Cookbook as well. Made for Spring PAC, May, 2014.

There are many things I enjoy. In no particular order I like reading, family time, gardening, travel, animals, sewing, crochet, pinterest, crafting in general, games, antiques and so much more. The one thing that I really, really like is.......cooking. Whether it's a simple dish or something more complex, it eventually makes its way to my family's table. I am fortunate to have a family that enjoys all my experiments too
