SHRIMP CREOLE BAKE
When I lived in Cocoa FL, we went 8 miles to the ocean and met the shrimp boats for fresh, scrumptious shrimp; when I lived in SC, we would drive to McClellenville, meet the boats for delicious, fresh shrimp. Now that I am back in Augusta, I find out when my favorite grocer receives seafood and I get it as fresh as I can...

Steps:
- 1. Cook and clean shrimp (or use cooked, frozen); set aside. Cook rice and set aside.
- 2. in a medium to large sauté pan, sauté celery, onions and green pepper in butter until clear, but not brown.
- 3. Meanwhile, make the sauce: In a small bowl, mix the Worcestershire sauce, tomato soup, juice from the canned mushrooms, dash of Tabasco Sauce, if desired, and the Cheddar Cheese (reserving 1/3 cup for topping).
- 4. Mix the shrimp, mushrooms and rice with the sautéed vegetables. Add the cheesy sauce and mix well.
- 5. Place in a large casserole dish (sometimes I bake it in 2 medium sized casserole dishes and freeze one for later.). Sprinkle the remaining 1/3 cup cheese on top.
- 6. Bake in a preheated, 325 degree oven for 45-50 minutes; until hot, bubbly, and cheese is melted. Enjoy!!!!!
- 7. This is a complete meal, but if you would like, you can serve it with some coleslaw, pickles and and/or stuffed celery -and if you love bread, biscuits. garlic toast or rolls. When it's just me or a friend, I generally have some garlic toast and maybe a small salad or coleslaw.
- 8. NOTE: If you decide to freeze part of it, save the cheese used for the topping and put it on just before baking. You probably will need to bake it another 10 or so minutes longer if it has been in the freezer.
- 9. ****I was going to wait and post this recipe after I made it again; probably at the end of the week so that I could put my own photo with it. I will come back and post my own photo (and maybe pictures with the directions) after I make it.
Tips:
- Use the freshest shrimp possible. Fresh shrimp will have a firm texture and a slightly briny smell. Avoid shrimp that is mushy or has a strong fishy odor.
- Use a variety of vegetables. This recipe calls for bell peppers, onions, and celery, but you can also add other vegetables such as zucchini, mushrooms, or carrots.
- Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and chewy.
- Serve the shrimp creole bake over rice. Rice is a classic accompaniment to shrimp creole bake, but you can also serve it over pasta or mashed potatoes.
Conclusion:
Shrimp creole bake is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor and can be customized to your liking. Whether you serve it over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes, this dish is sure to be a hit.
