Ingredients
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
2 stalks celery, chopped (I didn't use this much because I don't like it)
1/4 cup chopped green pepper (I didn't use this much because I don't like it either)
1/4 cup sliced green onion
1 lb fresh large shrimp, shelled and deveined
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can Campbell's Cream of Shrimp soup
1/2 cup water
1 dash cayenne pepper
hot cooked rice
paprika
Directions
1. Heat butter in skillet.
2. Add celery, green pepper and green onions and cook until tender.
3. Add shrimp and cook 3 to 5 minutes or until done.
4. Add soup, water and cayenne pepper and heat through.
5. Serve over rice.
6. Sprinkle with paprika.
This recipe comes off of the Campbell's Cream of Shrimp soup can. I add some hot sauce to mine because I like it spicier. I also serve with a salad and french bread.

Turkey and Rice Stuffed Peppers
From: Megan at In This Wonderful Life...
Ingredients:
4 red bell peppers, tops, ribs and seeds removed
1/2 pound ground turkey breast
1 cup cooked brown rice
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, peeled and minced
1/2 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup corn fresh, canned, or thawed frozen
1/4 cup flat-leaf parsley, finely minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated
2 tablespoons bread crumbs, preferably whole-grain
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 400.
2. Taking care not to make any holes, cut a very thin slice off the bottom of each bell pepper, just enough to help them stand straight and solidly. Set aside.
3. For the filling, in a large bowl combine the turkey, rice, onion, garlic, corn, parsley, oregano, salt and pepper. Add beans, mixing in lightly with a fork so beans aren't mashed. Set aside.
4. Divide the filling into four portions, packing each pepper with the mixture, mounding any extra at the top. Place stuffed peppers in a baking dish just large enough to hold them. Pour in 1 cup of water. Cover the dish with foil and bake in the center of the oven for 40 minutes.
5. In the meantime, combine cheese with the breadcrumbs in a small bowl. After 40 minutes of baking, uncover peppers. Sprinkle cheese/crumb mixture over top of each pepper. Continue baking the peppers, uncovered, 15 to 20 minutes or until the peppers are soft when pierced with a knife but not collapsing. Let set until cool enough to eat, about 10 to 20 minutes; serve.
