Bell Peppers Stuffed With Shrimp

Ingredients

• 4 large bell peppers (I use green)
• 1 pound shrimp peeled
• 1/2 to 1 cup minced onion
• 3 slices stale bread soaked in water
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons flour
• Tabasco and salt to taste
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Directions

Wash, half and core peppers. Saute shrimp until pink in butter. Make a small light roux with the oil and flour. Add onions to roux and cook until onions are tender. Add shrimp and bread (with the water the clings to it), then add seasonings to taste – it takes a good bit of seasoning because of the bread. Mix thoroughly then stuff the dressing into the pepper halves and top with bread crumbs. Place in a baking dish with 1/2 inch of hot water surrounding the peppers. Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes to an hour.
