Open up a Creole cookbook and I can almost guarantee there will be a recipe for Shrimp Creole. Served in restaurants throughout Southern Louisiana, Shrimp Creole combines two local ingredients, Shrimp and Creole tomatoes. The result is a cliche dish that is welcome on any dinner table.
1 large Onion, chopped
1/2 cup Celery, chopped
2 tablespoon Canola Oil
2 Creole Tomatoes, minced
2 cups Seafood Stock
1 pound Shrimp
1/4 cup fresh Parsley, minced
1 medium Green Bell Pepper, chopped
1 small Bay Leaf
Creole Seasoning to taste
3 cups Cooked Rice
1/2 cup Green Onion, chopped
Sauté onion and celery in oil until soft. Add tomatoes and continue to cook for 5 minutes. Add stock, shrimp, bell pepper, bay leaf and Creole seasoning. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour. Add rice rice, green onions and parsley. Cover, remove from heat and allow to stand 20-30 minutes before serving.
Enjoy!!!
Good Cooking, Good Eating and Good Living!!!
