Instructions
- Start by making the homemade creole seasoning blend; mix all the seasonings in a small bowl.
- Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of the creole seasoning over the shrimp and toss to coat. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, bell peppers, celery, and sauté for 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in the remaining creole seasoning blend. Add the diced tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, and stock. Stir well into the sauce and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a low and allow the sauce to cook for 8-10 minutes.
- Add the shrimp into the sauce and cook until it turns pink and opaque, around 8 more minutes. Garnish with green onions, if desired, and enjoy!
Notes
- Storing leftovers in the refrigerator: You can keep your leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
- Reheat: For best results, reheat leftovers on the stove over low to medium heat. Let it warm up slowly, as to avoid the shrimp drying out.
