Directions

Step 1

Heat a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.

Once the oil is hot, add the chopped onion, diced green bell pepper, and diced celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are softened.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 6

Season the shrimp with a pinch of salt and black pepper, then add them to the skillet. Stir gently to coat the shrimp in the sauce.

Cover the skillet and cook for 4-6 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through.
