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.

[email protected]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.
