The Best Shrimp Creole Recipe
  1. Heat oil and butter over medium-high heat in a skillet or saute pan. Add the onion, pepper and celery.

  2. Reduce heat to medium and cook approximately 10-12 minutes or until vegetables are very soft, adjusting heat as necessary so vegetables don't burn.

  3. Add the garlic, Cajun/Creole seasoning, thyme, cayenne pepper and bay leaf. Stir briefly.

  4. Add the tomato sauce, water and Worcestershire.

  5. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered 8-10 minutes or until sauce thickens.

  6. Stir in the shrimp and cook 1-2 minutes or until just firm, flipping halfway through so they cook evenly.

  7. Add hot sauce, salt and black pepper to taste.

  8. Remove bay leaf, sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately with hot, cooked rice and lemon wedges.
