Steps

1

Make a glass of wine or drink of choice because why not!
2

Defrost seafood and season with 1tbsp old bay (save remainder). Dice bell pepper, onion and celery
3

In a Dutch oven preferably, Sauté vegetables (adding minced garlic towards the end) in olive oil then remove from pot and set aside (I add 1/2 cup of the broth while sautéing to keep veg is moist)
4

Heat butter in pot and once melted gradually add in flour stirring constantly until brown (peanut butter or darker color) about 5-10 min typically. Careful not to burn!
5

One desired color turn off stove and add in your sautéed veggies and stir. Once mixed add in canned tomatoes with the juices) then as the remainder of the chicken broth and stir. Will look like this
6

Add all seasoning and sugar, mix then add in shrimp (and crawfish if using) and stir
7

At this point I put the Dutch oven in the oven on 350 for about 30 min. During this time you can cut up the scallions and parsley and/or cilantro.
8

When you take out of the oven put the scallions, parsley and/or cilantro and let sit 5-10 min then serve over rice
9

With most creole dishes the seasoning is more of a dash of this and pinch of that! Make it your own and each time you make this you might adjust it a little to taste.
