If you’ve never experienced Creole cuisine, this sauce is the place to start! This sauce is based on the Creole “holy trinity” of onions, celery, and green pepper plus garlic, with plenty of extra additions on top of that base. The layers of flavor are complex, delicious, and a perfect accompaniment to a number of foods. For this recipe, we’re cooking shrimp with the sauce, but the sauce can be enjoyed with blackened catfish, used a sauce with smoked meats, or even served on top of pasta.
