Shrimp Creole

Shrimp Creole is dish of Louisiana Creole origins. Most versions feature shrimp cooked in a spicy, thick tomato gravy base or sauce (Creole cooking traditionally used reduction as a form of thickening before being introduced to the French method of roux) consisting of Holy Trinity vegetables served over rice. This dish is thicker and spicier than Gumbo or Etouffee.

Shrimp Creole Y= 4-5 servings

- 12-15 Large shrimp, peeled, deveined

In a large sauté pan or small pot over medium heat, heat oil, sauté onion, celery and bell pepper. Add salt, pepper and pepper flakes. Add garlic, tomato paste, wine and Red Roux, (This is when I switch to a whisk instead of a spoon) heat until roux dissolves and wine reduces. Add tomatoes and stock, bring to boil, reduce
heat, season with salt and pepper. Heat until reduced to desired thickness. Serve over rice. Garnish with chopped scallions. X
