Cajun Shrimp Casserole

bullet1 lb. unpeeled, large fresh shrimp
bullet2 TBSP butter
bullet½ small onion, chopped
bullet¼ cup chopped red bell pepper
bullet¼ cup chopped green bell pepper
bullet¼ chopped yellow bell pepper
bullet2 cloves garlic, minced
bullet1 cup fresh or frozen okra
bullet½ TBSP fresh lemon juice
bullet¾ teaspoon salt
bullet½ can Cream of Shrimp Soup

bullet½ TBSP soy sauce
bullet¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
bullet1 cup long grain white rice, cooked
bullet2 TBSP grated Parmesan cheese

Peel and devein shrimp. Set aside.

Melt butter in 4 quart skillet. Add onion and all three peppers; sauté about 4-5 minutes or until tender. Add garlic and sauté one minute. Stir in okra, lemon juice, and salt; sauté around 5 minutes. Add shrimp and cook until shrimp turn pink, around 3 minutes. Stir in soup and next four ingredients until blended. Pour into a lightly greased 11 x 7 baking dish. Sprinkle evenly with Parmesan cheese.

Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes or until bubbly and cheese is lightly browned.

NOTE: This is from Southern Living, October 2005. It is exactly half the given recipe and we will easily get two meals from it, so I imagine it would serve four easily. My daughter made it with Cream of Mushroom soup and said it was really good. I chose to use the Cream of Shrimp and we really liked the flavor. As a personal preference, I used broccoli (steamed for 2 minutes) instead of the okra. I also made it a day ahead and then sat it out for half an hour before baking it, per the instructions.
