Directions:
- Choose any combination of the freshest shellfish available. You want about 1 1/2 pounds cleaned. Shell all shellfish and sprinkle with some of the Creole seasoning. Cover and refrigerate.
- Make a roux: melt the butter and add the flour. Whisk or stir constantly over medium heat for about 20 minutes. Be absolutely scrupulous about whisking/stirring and do not let the roux burn! When it's ready, it will be a rich brown color. Add the celery, onions, bell peppers and chilis. Cook about 7-10 minutes, until the onions are translucent.
- Add the bay leaves and garlic and cook a few more minutes.
- Add the tomatoes, water, and remaining Creole seasoning. Reduce heat and simmer for about an hour, stirring occasionally.
- Increase the heat to medium, add the broth and shellfish, cook for about 10 minutes or until the shellfish are cooked.
- Reduce heat to medium low. Cut the cream cheese into chunks and add to the broth. Stir occasionally until the cream cheese is incorporated.
- Taste and correct seasoning, if needed.
- Add green onions and parsley.
- To serve, place a serving or rice in the middle of a bowl. Ladle the courtboullion around the rice, granish with parsley.
- Serve with good crusty bread and a light salad.
