Baked Creole shrimp is a classic Louisiana dish that combines the flavors of shrimp, Creole seasoning, and a rich sauce. This dish is often served over rice and is a favorite among locals and tourists alike. The key to making a great baked Creole shrimp is to use fresh, quality ingredients and to cook the shrimp properly. Overcooked shrimp can be tough and rubbery, so it's important to cook them just until they are opaque. The Creole seasoning is also essential for this dish, as it adds a unique flavor that is characteristic of Louisiana cooking.

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.

Provided by Danielle Alex

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, preferably wild-caught shrimp for the best flavor and texture.
  • Be careful not to overcook the shrimp, as they will become tough and rubbery.
  • Use a flavorful creole seasoning blend to give the shrimp a delicious Cajun kick.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables in the recipe, such as bell peppers, onions, or celery.
  • Serve the shrimp with rice, pasta, or your favorite side dish.
