SHRIMP CREOLE
If you've ever made a trip to Louisiana, you'll be familiar with this shrimp dish. In a state where the shrimp is plentiful and the spices are too, locals have to dream up recipes that will do justice to the ingredients used in them.This shrimp creole does just that. It's a memorable dish that truly packs a punch. It comes together in under an hour-45 minutes to be exact-and it uses ingredients you already have in your pantry. Rice and diced tomatoes make up the base of the dish, while the additions of bell peppers, onion, celery, bay leaf, parsley, and red pepper add flavor and spice. Our Test Kitchen recommends that if you want to go even spicier, you can tap some hot sauce into the mix or throw in as much crushed red pepper as it takes to make you feel the heat. It truly couldn't be easier to cook up this dish tonight. It's one of those recipes that will make you wonder why you didn't try it before, and it will quickly become a go-to in your recipe box. Don't you want to try this Louisiana classic? Round up a catch of shrimp and put our favorite shrimp creole recipe on the table tonight.

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.
