Number Of Ingredients 19

2 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 medium onion (finely chopped)
1 medium green bell pepper (seeds and membrane removed finely chopped)

4 cloves garlic (minced)
1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning (or to taste)
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 bay leaf

Tabasco sauce (to taste)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley plus sprigs for garnish
Lemon wedges
Cooked rice (for serving)

Steps:

  • Heat oil and butter over medium-high heat in a skillet or saute pan. Add the onion, pepper and celery.
  • Reduce heat to medium and cook approximately 10-12 minutes or until vegetables are very soft, adjusting heat as necessary so vegetables don't burn.

  • Add the tomato sauce, water and Worcestershire.
  • Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered 8-10 minutes or until sauce thickens.

NEW ORLEANS SHRIMP CREOLE

I love Creole food and this is a wonderful way to lighten up a classic. Easy enough for a large gathering or simple enough for a small dinner party. Serve with crusty bread for a dining experience. Recipe is from "The Diabetes Food and Nutrition Bible".

A classic southern coastal dish. This version is from Chef Drextal Carter, of The Praline Connection in New Orleans. it was published n The Times-Picayune in anticipation of the French Market Creole Tomato Festival coming this weekend. I plan to make it when my own tomatoes & okra are ready (soon)! Use the freshest ripe red (or black or pink) robustly flavored tomatoes you can get.
