Super Shrimp Gumbo
Perfect for a crowd and full of spicy tomato flavor. You can substitute or add chicken, as preferred.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb. medium shrimp, shelled and deveined
- 1 tsp. Creole seasoning blend
- 1 TBSP olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 small green bell pepper, cored, seeded and diced
- 1 medium celery stalk, trimmed and diced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 can (15 oz.) crushed tomatoes
- 1/2 cup water
- 6 drops Clear Stevia
- 1 TBSP tomato paste
- 1/2 tsp. dried oregano
- Dash file powder
Directions:
1. Place shrimp in a large bowl and sprinkle with the creole seasoning. Set aside.
2. Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion, green pepper, and celery, season with salt and pepper, and cook over medium heat until the vegetables are softened, stirring often, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, a further minute.
3. Stir in the tomatoes, the water, Stevia, tomato paste, and oregano and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Add the shrimp, stir well, and simmer until just cooked, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the shrimp with a slotted spoon and transfer to a warm serving bowl.
5. Continue to simmer the sauce until well thickened, 5 to 8 minutes more. Taste for seasoning, pour over the cooked seafood and serve immediately, with a sprinkling of file powder.
