Well it happened yesterday but I got offered two big-girl jobs :) Now I have to decide if I want to go the school route or skilled nursing facility/ rehab center!! This is a huge decision and I have already started my pro/con list to try to help figure things out. I will give everyone an update when I decide which way I decide later this week :)
Now back to the recipe the reason this post even came to be. It is pretty simple and only takes about 30 minutes. I also made some rice to go with the dish since I thought it needed something else. Also I didn't take the advise to cut it in half, but you easily could if it is just for two people. Not the best picture but it gives you an idea.
Shrimp Creole
2 tsp. olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
14 ounce can fire roasted tomatoes (I used diced tomatoes since that is all I had)
8 oz tomato sauce
1/4 tsp. cajun seasoning
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper (this makes it pretty spicy, feel free to use less)
1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
2-4 tsp. hot sauce
Salt to taste
Directions:
In a medium pan heat the oil. Add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Saute until soft, about 5-10 minutes.
Add the tomatoes, tomato sauce, cajun seasoning, and cayenne pepper. Bring to a boil. Cover, and reduce the heat for 20 minutes.
Add the shrimp, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce. Stir well. Cook 5-6 minutes, or until the shrimp are cooked though. Season with salt to taste.
