Make a Light Brown Cajun Roux.  Add shrimp and cook 3 minutes over low heat.  Add garlic, onion, green pepper and parsley and saute 2 minutes.  Increase heat to medium and gradually add water while stirring.  Add remaining ingredients, bring to a boil, then lower heat to simmer and cook for 1 hour.  Stir occasionally.

 

Serve over steaming rice. Cajun Rice is best.  A dish like this can be jazzed up to suit any taste desired.  Substitute a can of tomatoes with green chilies for one can of tomato sauce, for a peppery flavor; or increase any of the seasonings according to your taste.
