- Add garlic, onion, bell pepper, and parsley. Continue to cook for 2 minutes to wilt onions.
- Raise heat, add water and remaining ingredients. Bring to boil.
- Lower heat to simmer, covered, for 20 to 30 minutes.

LOUISIANA SHRIMP CREOLE
This came from a cookbook from a Chef I worked for. We tweaked it to make it our own. We made this every day. People would come in to work and run in the kitchen for a small taste. They couldn't go the day without it. It's a little involved, but well worth it.
