From: SparkPeople user CHEF_MEG
Some call this dish Shrimp with Red Gravy but I like the true name
of Shrimp Creole. One bite and you're transported to Louisiana: I
envision shrimp boats bobbing along the shore and gardens bursting
with peppers ripened in the summer heat.

Saute the onions in a large pan set over medium heat for 2 minutes.
