I hadn’t had homemade cajun style shrimp creole in a long time. I truly adore the material. It’s incredible, especially when eaten with steaming steamed rice and cornbread…. LAWD HAVE MERCY!! It’s similar to shrimp gumbo but without the roux.

It is without a doubt one of my favorite southern recipes. It must be one of your favorite recipes, because I’ve gotten a lot of requests for it. So in this post, I’ll show and explain you how I create my own Shrimp & Sausage Creole.

My shrimp and sausage creole is straightforward. I don’t use any expensive ingredients. I only utilize the essentials. The only “fancy” aspect of this dish is the tomatoes I use. Heavenly Villagio Marzano Tomatoes and Zima Tomatoes are my favorites. Because I adore the sweetness of tomatoes… If you have a different tomato on hand, feel free to use it.

2 cans of stewed tomatoes (14 oz (420 ml) each)

sliced 1/4 pound (120 g) reduced-fat smoked sausage

1 chopped red bell pepper

1 garlic clove, peeled and minced

1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes

1/2 pound (240 g) sliced fresh okra

3/4 pound medium peeled and deveined shrimp

to taste, salt

3 cups (750 mL) warm cooked rice

Step 1 of the Method
Combine all ingredients, except the okra, shrimp, salt, and rice, in a 6-quart (6 l) slow cooker. Combine thoroughly.

Step 2 Cover and simmer on low heat for 6-7 hours, adding okra in the last 30 minutes and shrimp in the last 10 minutes.

Switch off the slow cooker. Season the shrimp and sausage combination to taste. Serve with prepared, heated rice.
