Sauté Trinity & Aromatics
Set Claypot to Sauté / High Mode. Add butter to melt. Add onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened (about 5–7 minutes), avoiding browning. -
Build Creole Sauce
Add chicken stock, 2 tsp Creole seasoning, hot paprika, cayenne pepper, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil then reduce to simmer. Add chopped tomatoes. Simmer ~10 minutes until slightly thickened. -
Finish Sauce Base
Stir in scallions, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and salt. Simmer uncovered 8–10 minutes until sauce is thick but still saucy. -
Cook Shrimp
Meanwhile, toss shrimp with remaining 2 tsp Creole seasoning. In a separate area of Claypot (or push sauce aside), heat oil and switch to Sauté / Low. Add shrimp and cook, stirring often, until pink and almost done (about 1 minute). -
Combine Shrimp + Sauce
Fold shrimp into Creole sauce. Stir gently and cook 3–4 minutes until shrimp are cooked through and coated. -
Serve
Turn off heat. Serve hot over steamed white rice or with crusty bread to soak up sauce.
