How to Make Shrimp Louisianne

  1. Melt 1/4 cup of margarine in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper, and 1 stalk of chopped celery. Saute until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. Stir in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  5. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of milk, ensuring no lumps form. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Stir in 1/2 cup of ketchup and 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley.
  7. Cover the skillet and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the shrimp are cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
