A very basic creole sauce that can be used when making shrimp creole, stuffed peppers or my favorite as a gravy over meat. I especially love this with rice topped with leftover meatloaf slices and then this sauce spooned over.

I wasn't impressed with this sauce. It was bland and lacked flavor. I wouldn't recommend it.

Not bad for a weeknight meal. The sauce was a bit too thick for my taste, but overall it was a good recipe.

Easy to make and packed with flavor! I added a bit of cayenne pepper for a little extra kick and it turned out perfect. Will definitely be making this again.

This Creole sauce was an absolute delight! The flavors were well-balanced and came together beautifully. I especially loved the hint of smokiness from the paprika. I served it with fried catfish and it was a match made in heaven.
