Saute onions, bell peppers, and celery in butter until soft.
Season shrimp with Cajun seasoning, add to mixture and cook for 15 minutes.
Heat half & half in microwave for 1 minute.
Add garlic, cubed Velveeta, and jalapeno relish. Then add half & half.
NOTE: Adding the cold Velveeta first and then the warmed half & half helps prevent the half & half from curdling.
