How to Make Shrimp La Creole

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, high-walled skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 1 bell pepper, chopped, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley. Sauté until the onions are translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in 1/2 cup dry white wine, 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 2 cloves garlic, minced, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 cup tomato sauce, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low.
  4. Cover and simmer for 1 hour, or until the tomatoes have broken down and the sauce has thickened.
  5. Add 1 pound of shrimp (peeled and deveined) and continue to simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.
  6. Serve the Shrimp La Creole over cooked rice, noodles, or use as a flavorful filling for omelets. Garnish with extra parsley or mint, if desired.
