Shrimp Creole

I found this recipe on a Weight Watchers message board.  It is very tasty and really hits the spot.

Shrimp Creole
Serves: 4
Points: 2 (adding 1 cup of brown rice to each serving will add 4 points, for a total of 6 points per serving)

1/2 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped celery
1/4 cup chopped green pepper
1 small clove garlic, minced
3, 14oz cans diced tomatoes, drained
1 tbsp worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp tomato paste
2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 tsp oregano
1/4 cup chopped italian parsley (I left this out)
1 pound shelled and deveined shrimp

Instructions

Saute onion, celery, green pepper and garlic in a pan sprayed with olive oil pam (I used regular because its all I had), over medium heat until veggies are soft.

Add tomatoes, worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, chili powder, crushed red pepper and oregano.

Bring to a boil and then simmer for 30 minutes.

Add shrimp and parsley and cook an additional 5-8 minutes or until shrimp are fully cooked (It took me about 5 minutes).

Serve over brown rice.
