Shrimp Creole

In honor of my Cajun heritage, I dug up a shrimp creole recipe. It was delicious. The hubs doesn't like tomatoes, but he loved this dish. You can tweak the spices to your liking. This is Louisiana Shrimp Creole II from Allrecipes.

I added quite a bit of cayenne and Cajun seasoning.

INGRENDIENTS
1/2 cup finely diced onion
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/2 cup chopped celery
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 (14.5 ounce) can stewed tomatoes
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 dash hot pepper sauce
1 pound medium shrimp - peeled and deveined

DIRECTIONS
1. In a 2 quart saucepan, melt butter or margarine over medium heat. Add onion, green pepper, celery, and garlic; cook until tender.


2. Mix in cornstarch. Stir in stewed tomatoes, tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, and red pepper sauce. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Stir in shrimp, and cook for 5 minutes.
Pin It!
