  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped celery
  • 1/2 cup sliced green onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground red chile pepper
  • 2 pounds fresh medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 3 cups hot cooked rice
