Number Of Ingredients 22

3 pounds medium shrimp - peeled, deveined and shells reserved
½ onion, chopped
1 carrot, finely chopped
2 strips celery, chopped
4 cups water
⅓ cup bacon grease
2 onions, chopped
2 strips celery, chopped
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 large chopped green bell pepper
2 bay leaves
salt to taste

1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon dried thyme

  • Add the bay leaves, salt, black pepper, brown sugar, cayenne pepper, hot sauce, and 2 cups reduced shrimp stock. Bring to a boil and add crushed rosemary, crushed thyme, crushed basil, tomatoes, and tomato sauce.
  • Cover and simmer over low/medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour.
  • Add the cleaned and deveined shrimp. Stir, cover and turn off the heat. Let the shrimp sit for 15 to 20 minutes or until pink throughout. Sprinkle the green onions on top.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my shrimp creole turned out really bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't have much flavor.

I wasn't a big fan of this shrimp creole. The sauce was too thick and the shrimp were overcooked.

This shrimp creole was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper next time.
