Recipe of the day - Shrimp Creole

This is a very easy recipe that I found on Allrecipes.com  I have made this several times and we always enjoy it!

Shrimp Creole

3 Tbsp rendered bacon fat
3 Tbsp all purpose flour
2 cups chopped stewed tomatoes
1/8 cup tomato sauce
6 Tbsp minced onion
6 Tbsp chopped pepper (I use yellow peppers)
1 1/2 tsps chopped parsley
1 clove garlic
1 1/2 cups hot water
2 tsps salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
7 oz peeled, deveined shrimp

Melt bacon fat in a skillet over med heat.  Add flour, stirring constantly to make a roux.  Add all other ingredients, except for the shrimp.  Bring to a boil then reduce heat to medium low and simmer for 20 minutes.  Add shrimp and cook until they turn pink and are opaque in the center.  Serve over rice.

Enjoy!
