Emeril’s Classic Shrimp Creole

Ingredients:

• 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 green bell pepper, chopped
• 2 celery stalks, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 (14.5-oz) can diced tomatoes
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon Creole seasoning
• 1 bay leaf
• Olive oil
• Cooked white rice, for serving
• Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

• Heat a large skillet over medium with a drizzle of olive oil.
• Sauté the onion, bell pepper, and celery until tender, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in garlic, tomatoes, chicken broth, Creole seasoning, and bay leaf. Simmer for 10 minutes.
• Add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink, about 3 minutes.

The slow-cooked tomato base just marries so beautifully to the succulent shrimp, making it deep, rich, and flavor-struck. It is a dish not to be missed for lovers of Creole food.
