I was at my sister in laws on Saturday and saw her recipe for Shrimp Creole sitting on the counter. I immediately knew I would be making something like it this week
1.5 cups chopped red bell pepper
1/4 of a jalepeno pepper minced very fine
1 c chopped red onion
1.5 cups of chopped celery
2 Tblsp minced garlic
Sauté all of this in a 1/4 cup butter. Salt pepper to taste
Add 2 lbs of shrimp(mine were actually frozen with deveined and the tail off)
Tobasco to taste
1 can of tomato paste
3 reg cans of diced tomatoes
I let that simmer and stew until the shrimp started to melt and cook. I then added frozen okra, about one and a half cups. Simmered about twenty more minutes. Turned the heat off and let it sit for an hour. Served over jasmine rice blend with wild rices that had been cooked in chicken broth and butter.
It was really a comfort food on a rainy night.
