Ingredients:

Serving

2 tbsp bacon grease
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 cup finely chopped yellow onion
1/2 cup finely chopped green bell pepper
1/2 cup finely chopped celery
1 tbsp minced garlic
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (to taste)
2 bay leaves
2 tbsp tomato paste
3 cups finely chopped peeled, and seeded tomatoes
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley , plus more for garnish
1 1/2 tsp chopped fresh oregano
1 tsp chopped fresh basil
1 tsp chopped fresh thyme
1 tsp grated lemon zest
1 tsp worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 tsp tabasco sauce
2 cups chicken , shrimp or 2 cups fish stock, cold
1 1/4 lbs shrimp, peeled and deveined
hot cooked long-grain rice , for serving

Directions:

Heat the bacon grease in a medium, heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and stirring constantly with a heavy wooden spoon, cook until a roux a light brown forms, about 6 minutes.
Add the onions, celery, and bell pepper and cook over medium heat, until the vegetables are tender, 5 to 6 minutes.
Add the garlic, salt, red pepper, and bay leaves, and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds.
Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring constantly, until it starts to color, about 2 minutes.
Add the tomatoes, oregano, basil, thyme, lemon zest, Worcestershire and Tabasco, and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes.
Add the stock and bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, until the sauce thickens and reduces by one-quarter in volume, 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
To serve immediately, add the shrimp and cook, stirring, until cooked through and tender, about 5 minutes. Adjust the seasoning to taste. Arrange 1/2 to 3/4 cup long grain white rice in each of 4 to 6 large shallow bowls or on large plates.
Ladle the shrimp Creole over the rice, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve.
