    SHRIMP CREOLE
    2 lbs of Fresh Shrimp
    2 Sticks of Butter
    8 Cups of Water
    2 Onions
    2 Sticks of Celery
    1 Green Bell Pepper
    1 Red Bell Pepper
    1 Bunch Green Onions
    4 Cloves of Garlic
    1 Bay Leaf
    1/3 Cup of Flour
    1 (28 oz) Cans of Crushed Tomatoes
    1 (10 oz) Cans of Original Rotel
    1 Tablespoon of Sugar
    1/4 Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
    1 Tablespoon of Parsley Flakes
    1 Tablespoon Cajun Seasoning
    1/2 Teaspoon of Salt
    Rice
    Start out by heating a large pot on a low heat.
    Also heat a pot filled with 8 cups of water on a low heat.
    Peel and devein 2 lbs of fresh shrimp.
    If you have peelings, save them for your stock.
    Put the shrimp in the refrigerator for now.
    Cut the ends of the onions, tops & bottoms of the celery, and tops & bottoms of the green onions.
    Add the cut pieces of vegetables, shrimp peelings, and a bay leaf to the pot of water.
    If you do not have shrimp peelings, do not worry, just proceed without.
    Raise the heat so that the pot reaches a boil.
    Once you’ve reached a boil, cover, and lower to a simmering heat. Simmer for 1 hour.
    Chop the remaining onion, celery, green onion, bell peppers, and garlic.
    Melt the two sticks of butter in the large pot.
    After dropping the butter in, increase your heat to a medium heat.
    Add the vegetables to the pot and simmer for 30 minutes.
    After 30 minutes, push as much of the vegetables to one side as you can, and then add 1/3 cup of flour to the butter.
    Blend until smooth, and then mix with the vegetables.
    Sauté for 20 minutes, stirring continuously.
    When the stock is done simmering for an hour, pour it through a sifter or fine mesh strainer over a large bowl. Let sit until needed.
    After 20 minutes of sautéing the vegetables and flour, add the can of rotel.
    Sauté for another 5 minutes.
    After 5 minutes, add the 28oz can of crushed tomatoes and 2 cups of the shrimp stock.
    Add the sugar, cayenne pepper, parsley flakes, Cajun seasoning, and salt. Blend evenly.
    Raise the heat to bring the sauce to a slight boil.
    Once you see some slight bubbling, cover the pot, and lower to a simmering heat.
    Cook for 1 hour and 20 minutes. Be sure to stir every 5 minutes to break up anything sticking to the bottom.
    After about 45 minutes of cooking, you want to get started cooking some rice.
    Use 4 cups of the leftover stock, 2 cups of rice, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
    Bring to a boil, cover, lower to simmer, and let it cook for 25 minutes. Afterward, remove the pot from heat and let sit for another 5 minutes before uncovering.
    With about 20 minutes left of cooking the shrimp creole, be sure to remove the fresh shrimp from the refrigerator.
    After the sauce has simmered for the allotted time, add the shrimp to the sauce.
    Stir, cover, and let simmer for another 10-15 minutes.
    Serve over rice and enjoy!

I just wanted to say thank you for doing what you do and God bless you. My best dish so far was a smoked alligator and crawfish Sauce Piquant that I used your recipe and added my touch to it. Keep the good vibes and dishes coming.

    Damn, being of Indian ethnicity and born and raised in Texas, I can vouch that their are so many similarities between Louisiana cooking and indian food. Especially when it comes to the amount of spices and simmered down gravy. The only difference you call it curry in indian food but its essentially the same thing. Both have so much flavor.

    I appreciate your “you do you” attitude. I was with you up to adding the flour. At that point, I “fry” a can of tomato paste in the vegetables and butter until everything is a deep dark red. I also add Worcestershire sauce for seasoning. A long time ago when I was teaching myself how to make creole, my husband and I felt like I needed to add a different layer of flavor. I stirred up a small roux in a small skillet and added it to the creole. I never turned to back. Thanks for your videos and recipes as one cook to another!

Yours tastes better than theirs and I got to eat it until I was full. You really know what you are doing. Had some shrimps left and I think I'm going to boil them in zatarain's and make a shrimp pie like your crawfish pie. Can't get any mudbugs where I am in NC and that crawfish pie looked delicious.

      Tasso in the red beans or no Tasso? Was in NOLA for maradi gras 2019 and stopped by a grocery store in Houma during one of the parades. I bought about 15 lbs of andouille and Tasso, froze it and put it in my suitcase for the flight back to LA. Now I’m out!!!!

    That looks absolutely amazing, I didn't realize these dishes took the time that it takes. Great job! I moved from the Southeast to Cali, and the shrimp here just don't taste as good as gulf shrimp.
