MOM'S SHRIMP CREOLE

Mom's Shrimp Creole image

The seasoning in this recipe is just wonderful...perfect amount, perfect flavor. We put our shrimp in towards the end of the cooking time rather than leave it in the whole 60 minutes. It turned out great!

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

3 medium onions, chopped
1 1/2 celery, chopped
4 Tbsp bacon fat
2 Tbsp flour
1 tsp salt and pepper
3 Tbsp chili powder (hot if you like)
2 c water
3 c crushed tomatoes
2 Tbsp sugar
1 1/2 Tbsp vinegar
1 1/3 c medium shrimp (cleaned)
1 1/2 c fresh okra, cut up in bite size pieces

Steps:

1. Saute celery, onion, okra and shrimp in bacon fat.
2. Add tomatoes, chili powder, salt, pepper, vinegar and sugar.
3. Mix enough water and flour to make a creamy sauce. Add gradually remaining water. Simmer 60 minutes.
4. Mom always put it over brown rice, wonderful salad and garlic bread. Gosh, I hope you like it. We love it.
5. NOTE: I know y'all are questioning the length of time cooking the shrimp. This is a very old recipe and the older ladies back in the day cooked everything possibly longer than needed. I have added the shrimp at the end and it was wonderful. It is up to you.

MAMA'S SHRIMP CREOLE

Categories Sauce Marinate Shrimp Winter Simmer Boil

Yield serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds large shrimp (21/25 count), peeled and deveined
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup canola oil
1 onion, preferably Vidalia, chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped
4 cloves garlic, very finely chopped
1 (6-ounce) can tomato paste
1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
2 cups water, plus more if needed
Pinch of cayenne pepper
4 green onions, white and green parts, chopped, for garnish
$20,000 Rice Pilaf (page 158), for accompaniment

Steps:

Place the shrimp in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate to marinate while you prepare the vegetables.
In a heavy-bottomed skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and celery and cook until soft and translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 45 to 60 seconds. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring constantly, an additional 5 minutes. Add the tomato sauce, sugar, water, and cayenne pepper. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then decrease the heat to low. Simmer until the oil rises to the surface, stirring occasionally, about 40 minutes. (Use more water if the sauce gets too thick.) Add the shrimp and cook until pink, 3 to 5 minutes. Taste and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper. Garnish with the green onions. Serve with rice pilaf.
