Shrimp Bogged Down in Rice

Here's a good Creole shrimp dish my mother used to serve.  I copied the recipe exactly as she had written it down. She called it "Shrimp Bogged Down in Rice." It is simple and relatively quick to make, but most of all it is delicious!

INGREDIENTS

· 1 1/2 c. uncooked rice

· 1 pod garlic

· 1/8 tsp, black pepper

· 3 lbs. fresh shrimp

· 1 large onion

· 1/2 tsp lemon-pepper seasoning

· 1/2 tsp parsley, chopped

· 1/2/ tsp lemon juice


Cook rice in 3 cups of boiling water and 1 teaspoon of salt. Boil gently without stirring for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to simmer covered 5 to 10 minutes. Set aside. Peel and devein shrimp, wash well, and drain. Put butter in skillet with lemon juice and let melt. Add onion and garlic; sauté until soft. Add shrimp, lemon pepper, seasoning and black pepper. Add parsley. Turn shrimp until cooked. Pour this into cooked rice and toss gently.
