I was making a Mary Kay delivery about 35 years ago to a customer and she was cooking this Shrimp Creole for dinner. It smelled so good I had to ask for the recipe. Picked up the ingredients on the way home and fixed it for our dinner that night. It has been on the menu here in the Gardner house ever since.

Categories     Seafood

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 large onion, diced
2 celery stalks
3-4 clove garlic, minced
4 Tbsp olive oil, extra virgin
1 qt tomatoes, i prefer home canned
kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
8-10 Tbsp frank's hot sauce
1 bay leaf

Steps:

  • 1. Saute bell pepper, onion and celery until tender in olive oil. Add garlic and saute for 2-3 more minutes.
  • 2. Add tomatoes and seasonings and simmer until thick, 2-3 three hours.
  • 3. Add shrimp just before serving. They will turn pink as soon as they are done. Don't allow shrimp to boil or over cook as they will become rubbery and tough.
  • 4. Serve with rice, salad and a good crusty bread to sop up all the wonderful juice.

This shrimp creole is a good starting point, but it needs some tweaking. I added some extra spices and vegetables to give it more flavor.

This shrimp creole is a bit too spicy for my taste, but it's still a good dish. I'll just have to be careful not to add too much cayenne pepper next time.
