Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 bell pepper, chopped (red or green)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
- 1-2 tablespoons Creole seasoning (adjust to taste)
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooked rice, for serving
- Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add in the chopped onions and bell pepper, sautéing until they soften up, about 5 minutes. You want those veggies to turn a beautiful golden color.
- Stir in the minced garlic and let it cook for an additional minute, making the kitchen smell amazing!
- Next, add the diced tomatoes (with their juices), Creole seasoning, chicken broth, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir everything together and bring it to a gentle boil.
- Once it’s bubbling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes. This is where all those flavors come together, y’all!
- Now, toss in the shrimp and cook for about 3-5 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Don’t overcook them; we want them tender and juicy!
- Season the dish with salt and pepper to taste, then serve it over a bed of fluffy, cooked rice.
- Garnish with fresh parsley if you’re feeling fancy!
