6 lg. green peppers
1 bunch green onions, chopped
2 ribs celery, chopped
1 sm. loaf French bread
2 tbsp. chopped parsley
1 1/2 lbs. raw, shelled shrimp fresh or frozen
4 tbsp. bacon fat, butter
Salt, pepper, dash Tabasco

Parboil halved and seeded green peppers in salted water for 20-25 minutes, or until they change color. Drop shrimp in boiling water and cook 5-10 minutes, or until they turn pink. Peel, chop and set aside. Saute the onions and celery in fat until transparent.

Break French bread into a bowl of water. Soak for a few minutes, then squeeze out and add to fried onions and celery. Cook, stirring, until bread is dried out and slightly brown. Add shrimp, parsley and seasoning, and cook for a few minutes, mixing well.

Stuff into halved peppers in shallow baking dish. Add 1/2 inch of water around peppers to prevent drying out, and dot tops with butter. Bake at 350 degrees about 45 minutes. Ham or bacon may be substituted for, or added to, shrimp. Serves 6-12 depending on what is served with it.
