4 tbsp. butter
1/4 lb. Canadian bacon, cut in strips
1 c. cooked chicken, cut in pieces
1 c. salami, cut in strips
1/2 c. chopped onion
4 tbsp. chopped green pepper
4 tbsp. diced celery
4 c. tomatoes, canned or stewed
1 tsp. chili powder (optional)
1 1/2 c. rice
1 lb. cooked (medium to small) shrimp

In a deep kettle, heat the butter and cook the bacon, chicken, salami, onions, peppers and celery over moderate heat, stirring frequently. When the vegetables are soft add the tomatoes and simmer until most of the moisture has evaporated. Season with salt, pepper and chili if desired.

Meanwhile, cook the rice for 12 minutes in a large pan of boiling salted water. Drain and run cool water through the rice. Add it to the vegetables and stir well. Add the cooked shrimp and simmer 10 minutes before serving. Taste for seasoning.
