Ingredients

Servings

For the creole seasoning:

  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp salt fine kosher
  • 1 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp thyme dried
  • 1 tsp basil dried
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper ground
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper or to taste

For the shrimp creole recipe

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion diced
  • 3-4 garlic finely chopped, cloves
  • 1 yellow bell pepper chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper chopped
  • 2 celery chopped, sticks
  • 1 (15 oz) diced tomatoes canned
  • 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 cup stock of your choice
  • 1 lb Shrimp peeled and deveined, jumbo
  • green onion thinly sliced diagonally, Optional: 2

Instructions

  1. Start by making the homemade creole seasoning blend; mix all the seasonings in a small bowl.
  2. Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of the creole seasoning over the shrimp and toss to coat. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  3. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, bell peppers, celery, and sauté for 3-4 minutes.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
