1 Large Green Bell Pepper, cut into 1 in. pieces
2 stalks celery sliced
2 medium onions diced
2 cloves garlic minced
2x14 oz. cans tomatoes
2 bay leaves

Cooked rice, to serve
Place the oil in a large saucepan and add the bell pepper, celery, and onions. Cook for a few minutes over gentle heat and add garlic. Add the tomatoes and their juice, breaking them up with a fork or potato masher. Add the bay leaves, cayenne, seasoning, and thyme, and bring to a boil. Allow to simmer for about five minutes uncovered. Mix a few spoonfuls of the hot tomato liquid with the cornstarch mixture and then return it to the saucepan. Bring to a boil stirring constantly until thickened. Add the shrimp and cover the pan. Simmer over gentle heat for about 15-20min, or until shrimp are done. Remove bay leaves, arrange rice in a ring around a plate for each serving, and serve the creole in the center of the ring. :hi:
