CREOLE SHRIMP



Creole Shrimp image

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.

3/4 teaspoon dried thyme
3/4 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
1/2 teaspoon granulated onion
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne, optional
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 green bell pepper, chopped (about 3/4 cup)
2 celery stalks, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
1 large Spanish onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
2 cups shrimp or fish stock
1/2 cup canned crushed tomatoes
1 small bay leaf
1 1/2 pounds peeled and deveined large shrimp
1/2 to 1 teaspoon hot sauce, such as Tabasco
Kosher salt
2 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Cooked rice, for serving

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.

This was a recipe I actually got from my God son, who asked me to make this for him and it was the best shrimp sandwich I ever had!

For the rice
6 cups water
2 teaspoons salt
3 cups long grain white rice, rinsed
For the shrimp creole
1/2 stick butter
1 large onion, chopped
2 green bell peppers, seeded and chopped
4 stalks celery, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 bay leaves
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 (28 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 cup water
2 cups seafood stock, store-bought or homemade
2 pounds small 60 count shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
1/2 cup green onions, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Cook the rice: Bring water to a boil in a medium pot over high heat. Add salt and rice to the water and stir to combine. Cover with a lid and reduce the heat to low heat. Cook the rice, covered for about 20 minutes or according to package instructions. Remove rice from heat and fluff with a fork. Keep covered until ready to serve.
  • Sauté the onions, peppers, and celery: While the rice is cooking, make the shrimp creole. In a large pan set over medium heat, add the butter. Once the butter melts and is foamy, add the onions, bell pepper, and celery to the pan. Add the salt and cayenne pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, 6-8 minutes.
  • Add the bay leaves, Worcestershire, tomatoes, and garlic: Add the bay leaves, Worcestershire sauce, tomatoes, and garlic powder to the pan. Stir to combine and gently break up the tomatoes using a wooden spoon. Cook on high until simmering, then reduce the heat and maintain a simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Combine flour and water, add to pot with stock: In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and water and add it to the tomato sauce in the pan. Cook for 5 minutes. Add the seafood stock.
  • Season and add shrimp to pan: In a large bowl, season the shrimp with the Cajun seasoning and toss to coat. Add the shrimp to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until they turn pink on the outside, 7-8 minutes. The finished sauce will be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  • Stir in green onions and serve: Stir in green onions. Serve shrimp creole over rice.
