Como fazer Authentic Spicy Shrimp Creole
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 1/2 cup vegetable oil over medium heat. Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, stirring constantly with a whisk to prevent lumps. This is your roux.
- Continue stirring the roux constantly until it reaches a deep brown color, similar to a paper bag. This will take approximately 15-20 minutes. Do not rush this step!
- Add 1 chopped bell pepper (any color), 4 cloves minced garlic, 1/2 cup chopped green onions, and 1-2 tablespoons Tabasco sauce (adjust to your spice preference). Stir to combine.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in 1 (6 ounce) can of tomato paste and 2 cups of water. Mix well to ensure no lumps remain and create a smooth sauce.
- Add 1 pound of peeled and deveined shrimp.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Uncover the pot and continue to simmer until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency. This may take an additional 5-10 minutes.
- Season generously with salt and pepper to taste. Add 1-2 teaspoons of Cajun seasoning, if desired.
- Serve hot over 2 cups of cooked white rice. Garnish with fresh parsley (optional) and serve with crusty French bread for dipping.
