3 cups long grain white rice, rinsed
For the shrimp creole

1 large onion, chopped

4 stalks celery, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 bay leaves
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 (28 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes

2 tablespoons flour
1/2 cup water
2 cups seafood stock, store-bought or homemade
2 pounds small 60 count shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
1/2 cup green onions, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Cook the rice: Bring water to a boil in a medium pot over high heat. Add salt and rice to the water and stir to combine. Cover with a lid and reduce the heat to low heat. Cook the rice, covered for about 20 minutes or according to package instructions. Remove rice from heat and fluff with a fork. Keep covered until ready to serve.
