THE BEST SHRIMP CREOLE

Steps:

• Heat oil and butter over medium-high heat in a skillet or saute pan. Add the onion, pepper and celery.
• Reduce heat to medium and cook approximately 10-12 minutes or until vegetables are very soft, adjusting heat as necessary so vegetables don't burn.
• Add the garlic, Cajun seasoning, thyme, cayenne pepper and bay leaf. Stir briefly.
• Add the tomato sauce, water and Worcestershire.
• Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered 8-10 minutes or until sauce thickens.
• Stir in the shrimp and cook 1-2 minutes or until just firm.
• Add hot sauce, salt and black pepper to taste.
• Remove bay leaf, sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately with hot, cooked rice and lemon wedges.

• Stir in the shrimp and parsley and continue to cook just until the shrimp begin to curl.
