How to Make Panned Creole Shrimp

  1. In a large oven-safe skillet (cast iron is ideal), heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste), and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir and cook for 2-3 minutes, until softened.
  3. Pour in 1/2 cup of chicken broth and 1/4 cup of tomato paste. Stir well to combine and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 1 minute.
  4. Add 1 pound of peeled and deveined shrimp to the skillet. Toss gently to coat the shrimp in the sauce and arrange them in a single layer.
  5. Place the skillet into a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through, stirring halfway through.
  6. Serve immediately in warm bowls. Garnish with fresh parsley (optional). Serve with crusty French bread for dipping into the delicious Creole sauce!
