How Do You Make TRADITIONAL SHRIMP CREOLE?
Traditional Shrimp Creole is a standard down in Louisiana. It is spicy and savory, and the perfect potluck dish that you know nobody else will bring! It will be a big hit! Remember…old fashioned recipes are always the best! In a large skillet, heat oil on medium heat. To make a roux, add flour to oil, stirring constantly, until flour takes on a medium brown color and has a nutty smell. Add green onions and sauté for 2 minutes. Add stewed tomatoes and water to thin the gravy mixture, cooking for 20 minutes on medium heat uncovered, stirring occasionally. Add Creole seasoning and shrimp; cook on medium low for 20 minutes covered. Add filé, salt, and pepper to taste. Serve over hot cooked rice.
