Ingredients

2 lbs rock shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup green bell pepper, diced to one-half inch
1/2 cup onion, diced to one-quarter inch
1/4 cup celery, chopped fine
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons flour, all purpose
14 1/2 ounces whole canned tomatoes, roughly cut
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3 -4 cups cooked rice

Steps:

Rinse shrimp briefly and remove any large veins that are visible.
In a small sauce pan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
Mix in flour and stir until dissolved and mixture begins to thicken, then reduce heat.
Add tomatoes and their juice to the butter and flour mixture, stir well, and heat through. The mixture will thicken. Hold warm.
In a large skillet, melt two tablespoons of butter, and over medium-high heat, cook bell pepper, onion, celery, and garlic until soft, but with a little bit of a crunch.
Add shrimp and cook until no longer transparent (three minutes).
Add tomato mixture, bring to a boil, cover and let simmer for five minutes.
Serve over hot rice (white or wild mixture).
Chef's Tip:.
If rock shrimp are only available cooked, then add the shrimp and the tomato mixture at the same time.
Add a Cajun-style sausage when cooking the vegetables for an extra Cajun flair.
Cajun- or Louisiana-style seasoning can be used instead of, or along with, salt, cayenne pepper and black pepper.
Serve with French or sourdough bread.

SEAFOOD CREOLE

Seafood Creole image

This is a spicy sauce similar to etouffee. By adding seafood, it becomes Seafood Creole. Due to the seasoning mix, it is quite spicy. This can be controlled by adjusting the amount of the peppers. I like mine full strength, but for the wife I have to cut the peppers down to 1/8 teaspoon each. This recipe can easily be doubled or quadrupled for large affairs. It goes great with rice, garlic bread, a green salad and a good white wine, such as white Merlot, white Cabernet, Johannisburg Riesling, or Gewurztraminer. Use your favorite firm, white fish fillets in this recipe. Canned diced tomatoes can be used in place of chopping fresh tomatoes.

Ingredients

¾ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground white pepper
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon dried thyme leaves
½ teaspoon dried sweet basil
¼ cup butter
1 cup peeled chopped tomato
¾ cup chopped onion
¾ cup chopped celery
¾ cup chopped green bell pepper
1 ½ teaspoons minced garlic
1 ¼ cups chicken stock
1 cup canned tomato sauce
1 teaspoon white sugar
½ teaspoon hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®)
2 bay leaves

Steps:

Mix together oregano, salt, white pepper, black pepper, cayenne pepper, thyme, and basil in a small bowl; set aside.
Melt butter in a large Dutch oven over medium heat; stir in tomato, onion, celery, green bell pepper, and garlic. Cook and stir until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

Gently stir in rock shrimp, bay scallops, and haddock; bring sauce back to a simmer and cook until the shellfish and fish are opaque, about 20 more minutes. Remove bay leaves to serve.

Tips:

For a more intense shrimp flavor, use fresh shrimp instead of frozen shrimp.
If you don't have Creole seasoning, you can substitute a combination of paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and black pepper.
To make the sauce creamier, add 1/4 cup of heavy cream or sour cream.
If you like a spicy sauce, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
Serve the shrimp Creole over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes.
