Cullen's Shrimp Bean Gumbo

3 tsp Oil
2 tbl All-Purpose Flour
1 x Red And Green Bell Peppers Chopped
2 x Ribs Celery Chopped
1 lrg Onion Chopped

1 cup Black-Eyed Peas Drained, Rinsed
2 tsp Cajun Seasoning
8 oz Shrimp
Method :
Notes: Original recipe called for 2 tsp oil, but I added one more while cooking
because it was too dry. I also added some chicken broth when I put
in the vegetables, it was absolutely dry.
Prepare rice as package directs. In large saucepan over medium heat, cook oil
and flour, stirring, 5 to 10 minutes until golden brown. Add peppers, celery,
onion and garlic. Cook about 8 minutes until browned. Slowly whisk
in broth; add beans and Cajun seasoning. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to low and
simmer 10 minutes. Add shrimp; return to boil; reduce heat to low.
Simmer about 5 minutes until flavors are blended and gumbo is thickened.
Serve with rice.
