One of the easiest and best recipes for Shrimp Creole that I have tried. Try this shrimp dish served over rice. Ingredients:
3 tablespoons rendered bacon fat |
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour |
2 cups chopped stewed tomatoes |
1/8 cup tomato sauce |
6 tablespoons minced onion |
6 tablespoons chopped green bell pepper |
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley |
1 clove crushed garlic |
1 1/2 cups hot water |
2 teaspoons salt |
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper |
7 ounces frozen, peeled and deveined shrimp |
Directions:
1. Melt bacon fat in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook until browned, stirring constantly to make a brown roux (see Editor's Note). Stir tomatoes, tomato sauce, minced onion, green pepper, parsley, garlic, water, salt and pepper into the roux. Bring sauce to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 20 minutes. Add shrimp to mixture and cook until the shrimp turn pink, and have turned opaque in the center.
