The Sister’s Shrimp Creole

The Sister’s Shrimp Creole

Ingredients

2 pounds med-large shrimp, peeled or shells on

1 16 oz. can Crushed Tomatoes

1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce

1 large onion chopped

2 stalks celery diced

2 cloves garlic diced

1/2 cup chopped green onions

handful of chopped fresh parsley

2 bay leaves

Salt & Pepper to taste

Slap Ya Mama Cajun Seasoning

Louisiana Hot Sauce to taste

1 tsp. sugar (neutralizes the acid in the tomatoes)

1 cup water or stock (shrimp or chicken)

2 tablespoons flour

3 tablespoons oil

Cooked white rice

I always peel my shrimp and save the shrimp shells and make a little shrimp stock.

Shrimp Stock: Rinse peelings, put in a pot and just cover them with water. Bring to a boil, add a pinch of salt  and boil for about 5 minutes. Let cool and strain the stock and you’re done. Substitute the water called for in the recipe with an equal amount of shrimp stock. Freeze the remaining stock (by all means don’t throw it away!)

Directions

In a large pan or pot, make a blond roux with the flour and oil. Add the onions and sauté for about 10 minutes. Add the celery and sauté for another 15 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, tomato sauce, sugar, garlic and bay leaves and continue to cook for 30 – 40 minutes on a med-low heat stirring frequently. 

Add the water (or stock) and sugar; bring to a boil stirring frequently. Reduce the heat to med-low. Add green onions and parsley and stir. Simmer for 20 minutes covered stirring every five minutes. Hint: look at the thickness, will it cover rice like a thin gravy? If not add more flour. Add the seasoning and shrimp  and simmer for about 2 to 5 minutes.Taste and add seasoning as needed. 

Remove bay leaves and serve over hot cooked rice with a little hot French bread to sop up the gravy. Garnish with chopped parsley and chopped green onions.

Enjoy…

Welcome 2012 with Cajun Black Eyed Pea Dressing

Well grocery lovers the year is coming to an end and quite frankly I am thankful. I welcome 2012 with open arms. I truly feel that this new year will bring terrific change for the sisters and our families! As I sit here writing this morning and reflecting on 2011 there is joy along with sadness. Looking back on the months gone by, as a new year starts and an old one ends, I contemplate what brought us joy. Amy and I have been so blessed this year with new opportunities and becoming closer than two sisters could possibly be. Remembering how we enriched our lives by sharing countless hours formulating recipes, cooking, blogging, working on our cookbook. I would not trade all those tired nights for anything. We have grown in so many ways and it has allowed us to become better stronger women. We are looking forward to fresh, revitalizing interests, a variety of different new recipes, meeting interesting new people, material and personal successes and to make this new year the best one yet.

We hope this new year finds you healthier and happier, peaceful, content and satisfied.
Happy New Year!

Savory Spicy Chex Mix

Good morning, Tiger Fans, and congratulations to the LSU football team – champions of the Southeastern Conference! The Tigers’ convincing 42-10 win over the Georgia Bulldogs earned LSU its 11th SEC title in school history and a trip to the Louisiana Superdome on January 9 to play for its fourth national championship. WOW! What a tremendous Saturday we had! I can’t remember the last time I had such a good time. Our mama came over to watch the LSU-GA SEC Championship game and we had an absolute ball! We ate some fine groceries. We had The Sisters Gumbo, The Almighty Sausage Balls, Mama’s Bacon Wraps, Million Dollar Pie and it was all so “GET IN MY BELLY GOOD”! I am just so proud of our Tigers; they have played so hard and have kept me enormously entertained all season. I am really sad that the season is over. But, we do have the National Championship!

 With all that being said, here is a wonderful recipe for a great Christmas appetizer. The sisters have always loved them some chex mix. With our recipe we give it a little twist. Pretzels come in all different shapes, especially during the holiday season. So try making this with the holiday shapes.

 What you need:

1/4 cup butter

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 1/4 teaspoons Slap Ya Mama Cajun Seasoning

2 to 3 teaspoons Louisiana Hot Sauce

3 cups Corn Chex® cereal

3 cups Rice Chex® cereal

3 cups Wheat Chex® cereal

1 cup mixed nuts

1 cup pretzels

1 cup bite-size cheese crackers

What to do:

Heat oven to 250°F.

In ungreased large roasting pan, melt butter in oven. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, cajun seasoning and hot sauce. Gradually stir in remaining ingredients until evenly coated.

Bake uncovered 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Spread on paper towels to cool, about 15 minutes. Store in airtight container.
