How To Make shrimp creole

Step 1

In large, heavy pan melt butter. Sautee onion and garlic until tender. Add celery and bell pepper and cook until softened.

Step 2

Add tomato paste and cajun seasoning and cook until paste has browned somewhat. Add in romas and shrimp and cook briefy, until shrimp just turns white.
Step 3

Add in shrimp stock, bay leaves and green onion. Simmer about 10 minutes, long enough for the bay leaf to do it's work and soften the shrimp.
Step 4

Serve over hot creole rice.
