Shrimp Creole Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Cook the rice. Place 2 Bay leaves in the rice when finished. Place in covered casserole dish, set aside.
  • Melt the butter in a large sauce pan (or skillet) with the vegetable oil over medium heat.
  • When the butter begins to froth, add 1/2 cup of the onions.
  • Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden brown. Add the remaining onions, celery, and bell pepper. Reduce the heat to medium and season with 1 Tbsp Creole seasoning and a healthy pinch of salt. Sweat the vegetables until soft.
  • Add the tomatoe paste, mixing well. Cook, stirring constantly, until the paste begins to brown.
  • Add the diced tomatoes and another pinch of salt (this will help the tomates break down).
  • When the tomatoes start to break down into a liquid, add the white wine. Turn the heat up to high until most of the alcohol burns off.
  • Add the shrimp stock, remaining Creole seasoning, garlic, bay leaves, black pepper, white pepper, cayenne (to taste) and Thyme.
  • bring this mix to a boil and then reduce to a low simmer. Simmer for 30-45 minutes.
  • If necessary, thicken the sauce with 1 Tbsp Cornstarch/2 Tbsp water. Bring to boil to unlock cornstarch's thickening power.
  • Add the hot sauce, Worcestershire, and season to taste with Kosher salt.
  • Season the shrimp wih a small amount of salt and pinch of cayenne.
  • Bring the sauce to a boil, reduce the heat to low, and add the shrimp. (Don't overcook the shrimp- let them slowly simmer in the sauce until just cooked through.)
  • Serve with rice and garnish with green onions and parsley.
  • Enjoy!
