- Heat oil in a large pot. Do not use non-stick. Add the flour and make a roux by stirring constantly. When roux is a coppery color, add the chopped vegetables and cook for about 20 minutes, or until soft. Stir frequently while cooking.
- Add tomato paste and cook for 5-8 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Add the diced tomatoes with liquid, shrimp stock, and seasonings. Stir to combine. Simmer on low, covered, for about 1 hour. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Remember that this will be served over cooked rice, so if the seasonings are perfect you may want to add a little more. Also, if the sauce is too thick, more stock or water can be added as needed.
- Stir in the shrimp and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until shrimp are cooked through. Do not overcook. Serve over cooked white rice, topped with parsley or green onions.
- Notes:
- Sugar or lemon juice can be added to either counteract or add acidity.
- Shrimp Creole freezes well, but do not boil when reheating or the shrimp will be tough.
