Stolen from Paula Deen. I dont know if this is truly Shrimp Creole since it didnt start with a roux. But here it is regardless.

2 tablespoons Olive Oil
1/2 Cup diced Bell Pepper
1/2 Cup diced Onion
1/2 Cup diced Celery
1 Teaspoon Chili Powder
1 14 Ounce can Tomatoes
1 8 Ounce can Tomato Sauce
1 Tablespoon Hot Sauce
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
1 Teaspoon Sugar
Salt and Pepper
1 lb Peeled and Deveined Shrimp


Preheat Crockpot on high

Heat olive oil, stir in onion , pepper and celery. Cook until softened. Add Chili Powder and saute till caramelized. Remove from heat and pour into crockpot. Add all remaining ingredients except for Shrimp. Cook for 3 hours. After about 2 hours and 45 minutes add shrimp. Serve over rice.

I added a bay leaf and some sausage and upped the hot sauce a little. Very easy to make.

Please post recipes in the recipe forum. The format is printer friendly to those who print recipe cards.

Looks like a good crock pot recipe and if you want to or need to thicken it you can with a bit of cornstarch or arrowroot.
