How to Make Robin's Shrimp Creole

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of margarine in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 medium chopped onion and 1 chopped bell pepper. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Stir in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to create a roux.
  3. Gradually whisk in 1 ½ cups of water and 1 (28 ounce) can of crushed tomatoes. Bring to a simmer.
  4. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
  5. Add 1 teaspoon of Cajun seasoning (adjust to taste). Stir well.
  6. Cook on low heat for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  7. Add 1 pound of peeled and deveined shrimp. Cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the shrimp is pink and cooked through. Stir occasionally.
  8. Serve immediately over hot cooked rice. Garnish with fresh parsley (optional).
