SHRIMP CREOLE
Steps:
- Cook the rice: Bring water to a boil in a medium pot over high heat. Add salt and rice to the water and stir to combine. Cover with a lid and reduce the heat to low heat. Cook the rice, covered for about 20 minutes or according to package instructions. Remove rice from heat and fluff with a fork. Keep covered until ready to serve.
- Sauté the onions, peppers, and celery: While the rice is cooking, make the shrimp creole. In a large pan set over medium heat, add the butter. Once the butter melts and is foamy, add the onions, bell pepper, and celery to the pan. Add the salt and cayenne pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, 6-8 minutes.
- Add the bay leaves, Worcestershire, tomatoes, and garlic: Add the bay leaves, Worcestershire sauce, tomatoes, and garlic powder to the pan. Stir to combine and gently break up the tomatoes using a wooden spoon. Cook on high until simmering, then reduce the heat and maintain a simmer for 15 minutes.
- Combine flour and water, add to pot with stock: In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and water and add it to the tomato sauce in the pan. Cook for 5 minutes. Add the seafood stock.
- Season and add shrimp to pan: In a large bowl, season the shrimp with the Cajun seasoning and toss to coat. Add the shrimp to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until they turn pink on the outside, 7-8 minutes. The finished sauce will be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- Stir in green onions and serve: Stir in green onions. Serve shrimp creole over rice.

EASY CROCK-POT SHRIMP CREOLE
This is a Paula Deen recipe and it is, of course, amazing! I was surprised how easy it was! She served it over rice on her show so I did the same. I just used Minute white rice. The prep time will really depend on if your shrimp is already peeled and deveined. It really doesnt' take that long to do it yourself and the shrimp is usually cheaper that way. This truly was simple and delicios! Hope you enjoy it!

SHRIMP CREOLE
Much like gumbo, this shrimp and tomato stew starts with a roux that thickens and adds a distinct flavor (though many takes on shrimp Creole skip the roux altogether). Next, the "holy trinity" of Creole cooking - onion, celery and bell pepper - is simmered in the roux. You'll want to stir the bottom of the pot constantly to prevent the roux from sticking and burning, and make sure to keep a close eye: A burned roux can't be saved. Creole cuisine relishes improvisation, so feel free to add other veggies or a different protein, or omit the hot sauce and add a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar in its place. This spicy stew is traditionally served over steamed white rice, but is also delicious served over brown rice or other whole grains, like quinoa.

Steps:
- Make the optional Creole seasoning: Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and stir together. The seasoning makes about 1/4 cup; store it in a closed container in a cool, dry place.
- Toss the raw shrimp with 1 teaspoon Creole seasoning and set aside.
- In a Dutch oven or large, heavy skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Sprinkle the flour on top and stir constantly with a wooden spoon until a roux the color of peanut butter forms, about 10 minutes.
- Add the onion, celery and bell pepper, increase the heat to medium and cook until softened, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
- Stir in 1/3 cup water, then the tomato sauce, hot sauce (if using), sugar, thyme, oregano, basil, bay leaves, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and the remaining 1 teaspoon Creole seasoning. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes until thickened, stirring occasionally to make sure that the bottom doesn't burn. (If needed, add more water.)
- Once the stew has thickened, add the seasoned shrimp and simmer until opaque and cooked through, about 5 minutes, turning each piece halfway through the cooking time. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Remove from the heat and let stand for 10 minutes, uncovered. Sprinkle with scallions and parsley, and serve over steamed rice.
