• 1 medium yellow onion (diced)
• 1 medium green bell pepper (diced)
• 2 stalks celery (diced)
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 teaspoons Creole seasoning
• 0.25 teaspoons cayenne pepper (optional)
• 1 bay leaf
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
• 4 cups cooked white rice (for serving)
• 1 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, and celery, cooking for 5-7 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until the mushrooms release their liquid and begin to brown slightly.

Step 4

Add the canned diced tomatoes, tomato paste, chicken broth, Worcestershire sauce, Creole seasoning, cayenne pepper (if using), bay leaf, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.

Step 5

Bring the mixture to a simmer and reduce the heat to low. Let it cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 6

Add the raw shrimp to the skillet, stirring to coat them in the sauce. Cover and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and fully cooked.

Step 7

Discard the bay leaf and taste the sauce, adjusting seasoning with more salt, pepper, or Creole seasoning if needed.
