DELICIOUS SHRIMP CREOLE
We made this last night and it was delicious. If you like it spicy, add some more heat when cooking the vegetables.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium heat. Cook and stir onion, celery, bell pepper, and garlic in hot oil until soft, 5 to 7 minutes; add diced tomatoes and green chiles, tomato sauce, sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and bay leaves. Reduce heat to medium low and continue cooking until vegetables are soft, about 30 minutes.
- Put flour into a large sealable plastic bag. Season flour with salt and pepper. Add shrimp to bag, close bag, and shake to coat shrimp in seasoned flour.
- Stir tomato juice into the mixture in the Dutch oven. Reduce heat to low and cook until the juice reduces slightly, about 5 minutes; add shrimp and cook until shrimp turn pink, about 5 minutes. Remove Dutch oven from heat and let the residual heat finish cooking the shrimp until they are bright pink and the meat is no longer translucent, about 5 minutes more.

SHRIMP CREOLE
Much like gumbo, this shrimp and tomato stew starts with a roux that thickens and adds a distinct flavor (though many takes on shrimp Creole skip the roux altogether). Next, the "holy trinity" of Creole cooking - onion, celery and bell pepper - is simmered in the roux. You'll want to stir the bottom of the pot constantly to prevent the roux from sticking and burning, and make sure to keep a close eye: A burned roux can't be saved. Creole cuisine relishes improvisation, so feel free to add other veggies or a different protein, or omit the hot sauce and add a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar in its place. This spicy stew is traditionally served over steamed white rice, but is also delicious served over brown rice or other whole grains, like quinoa.

Steps:
- Make the optional Creole seasoning: Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and stir together. The seasoning makes about 1/4 cup; store it in a closed container in a cool, dry place.
- Toss the raw shrimp with 1 teaspoon Creole seasoning and set aside.
- In a Dutch oven or large, heavy skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Sprinkle the flour on top and stir constantly with a wooden spoon until a roux the color of peanut butter forms, about 10 minutes.
- Add the onion, celery and bell pepper, increase the heat to medium and cook until softened, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
- Stir in 1/3 cup water, then the tomato sauce, hot sauce (if using), sugar, thyme, oregano, basil, bay leaves, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and the remaining 1 teaspoon Creole seasoning. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes until thickened, stirring occasionally to make sure that the bottom doesn't burn. (If needed, add more water.)
- Once the stew has thickened, add the seasoned shrimp and simmer until opaque and cooked through, about 5 minutes, turning each piece halfway through the cooking time. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Remove from the heat and let stand for 10 minutes, uncovered. Sprinkle with scallions and parsley, and serve over steamed rice.
BEST SHRIMP CREOLE EVER
My all time favorite recipe. It's great for parties with no specific meal time. I like to have it finished cooking about 30 minutes to an hour before anyone arrives and just keep it warm on the stove with rice, bowls and spoons on the counter next to the stove. As people get hungry they can help themselves. People who say they don't care for shrimp creole usually ask me for a copy of recipe after they try it. I read about half the other Shrimp Creole recipes and did not find any prepared like this one. The veggies stay crisp instead of mushy like other shrimp creole recipes I have tasted. I like to use small ( 50 to 60 per pound) raw shrimp that I clean myself. But the lady I got this recipe from likes to use leftover boiled shrimp and my neighbor I gave the recipe to like to use frozen pre-cleaned shrimp. It's good with any of them so choose what you prefer. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. I think you will.

Steps:
- Pour oil in heavy pot. Add onion, celery, bell pepper, garlic, all tomatoes, salt, sugar, and bay leaves. (that's everything but shrimp, broth, and flour) Bring to boil, then turn to medium heat. Cook for 1 hour; stirring occasionally at first. increase frequency of stirring as hour progresses and liquid reduces. After one hour the mixture goes from soupy to thick paste. careful not to scorch as thickens.
- Dissolve flour in chicken broth and add to tomato sauce mixture. Bring to boil. Add shrimp and bring back to boil; boil 10 minutes. Turn heat off, cover pot and let set for 20 minutes.
- Serve over rice and enjoy!
- note: I use tabasco as condiment since hot is such a personal thing.
CREOLE SHRIMP
This flavorful Creole-inspired dish fills you up but won't weigh you down. I like to think of it as a speedy alternative to gumbo. Like gumbo, the dish starts with a dark roux, and includes the combination of onion, celery and bell pepper that is a hallmark of Creole and Cajun cooking. Tomatoes and shrimp, Louisiana favorites, round out the dish, as well as a quick seasoning mix of classic spices. It's best served over rice to soak up the fabulous sauce.

Steps:
- For the Creole seasoning: In a small bowl, combine the thyme, paprika, black pepper, oregano, granulated garlic, granulated onion, salt, white pepper and cayenne, if using, Set aside.
- For the shrimp: Put the butter and oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the butter has melted, make a roux by whisking in the flour. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until the roux turns deep brown and has a nutty aroma, 5 to 8 minutes.
- Stir the bell pepper, celery, onion and garlic into the roux and cook for about 3 minutes. Stir in all but 1 teaspoon of the Creole Seasoning and cook for about 1 minute before adding the stock, tomato and bay leaf. Stir well and make sure nothing is sticking to the bottom of the skillet. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly reduced and the flavors blend, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Sprinkle the shrimp with the remaining 1 teaspoon of Creole Seasoning. Stir the shrimp into the sauce and cook until they are pink and just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Discard the bay leaf. Stir in the hot sauce. Taste and add more salt if desired. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve over rice.
