REAL SHRIMP CREOLE
This is another Cajun dish that is my personal favorite. It has a tomato base along with roux that makes it a hearty meal. It is also served over hot rice as most good Cajun foods are. That is a staple in every Cajun home. My gramma would keep her rice in a big new garbage can with a tight lid. We ate so much of it that when it was on sale and there was a limit she would send all the grandkids in to each get a bag. I hope you enjoy this as much as I do.

Steps:
- Make roux with the butter and flour, heat the butter and stir in the flour. When roux begins to turn slight tan and is well mixed with the butter turn heat down to low. Continue cooking and stir occasionally. This should take about 45 minutes to one hour, but you want the roux to be a rich chocolate brown without burning. If it burns you should throw it out and begin again.
- Throw everything into the pot except the shrimp.
- May have to add 1 cup of water to thin a bit if too thick.
- Simmer on low for one hour, add 1 tablespoon of brown sugar and mix in well.
- Add the shrimp and cook until they are done about 20 minutes.
- Serve over hot cooked rice. You may wish to add a sprinkle of gumbo filet to each dish.
- I usually serve with some kind of hot bread and a salad on side. Good with a glass of red or white wine.

SHRIMP CREOLE
I first learned how to make Shrimp Creole early on in my career, and now, it's something I love to cook for my family. This may not be one of those 200-year-old Louisiana recipes, but it's rooted in classic Creole cooking. You get all the flavor of a stew or braise, but you can put it on the table, start to finish, in less than an hour.

Steps:
- In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and garlic and sweat until tender and very aromatic, about 5 minutes. Add to the pot the red pepper, celery, and jalapeño and continue to cook until tender. As soon as you notice the vegetables starting to caramelize, add white wine to deglaze. Lightly season with salt and white pepper. Reduce the white wine until it has almost completely evaporated; then add the tomato purée and stir to combine.
- Lower the temperature as much as you can, and add the shrimp. Keeping the heat on low, continue gently stirring to poach the shrimp in the sauce, scraping the sides of the pot to keep them clean. (The low-and-slow cooking will keep them tender.) Once the shrimp are cooked through and opaque, add the juice of one lemon, chives, and parsley; stir to combine. Season to taste with more salt and white pepper and serve over hot rice.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish.
- Don't be afraid to adjust the seasonings to your taste. Creole cuisine is known for its bold flavors, but you can always tone them down or amp them up as you see fit.
- Cook the shrimp just until they are opaque and pink. Overcooking will make them tough and rubbery.
- Serve the shrimp creole over rice or pasta. It's also great with a side of cornbread or hush puppies.
Conclusion:
Shrimp creole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's a great way to use up leftover shrimp, and it can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give shrimp creole a try. You won't be disappointed.
