Ingredients
- – 450 g catfish fillets (1 lb)
- – 450 g shrimp, deveined and peeled (1 lb)
- – 3 tbsp (45 ml). Creole seasoning
- – 2 tbsp (30 ml). olive oil
- – 1 green bell pepper, diced
- – 1 yellow onion, diced
- – 2 cans (400 g each) whole tomatoes
- – 1 can (200 g) tomato paste
- – 180 ml chicken broth
- – 5 ml red pepper
- – salt & pepper, to taste
- – Sliced green onions, hot sauce for serving
- – Cooked rice or cauliflower rice, for serving
Instructions
- Coat the catfish fillets thoroughly with two tablespoons of Creole seasoning. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat one tablespoon of oil. Place the catfish fillets in the pot and cook until they are easily flaked with a fork but still firm, approximately 2 minutes on each side. Transfer to a plate to cool slightly, then cut into small pieces. While the fish cools, in a separate bowl, toss the shrimp with the remaining Creole seasoning. Set this aside.
- In the same pot, heat the rest of the oil. Add the diced bell pepper and onion, sautéing until they soften, which should take around 3-4 minutes. Incorporate the tomato paste, stirring until it is evenly blended. Add the canned whole tomatoes, including their juices, followed by the chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Lower the heat to maintain a gentle simmer, cover the pot, and let it cook for 25-30 minutes. Add the shrimp, red pepper, and catfish, cover the pot once more, and allow the shrimp to cook until they turn pink, about 10 minutes.
- Serve the dish over your choice of rice or cauliflower rice, and garnish with hot sauce and sliced green onions.
Notes
- Make sure to clean and remove the veins from the shrimp before seasoning with Creole for a better eating experience.
- Use whole tomatoes with their juices to enhance the dish’s flavors and create a delicious sauce.
- Adjust the red pepper amount based on your spice preference to control the dish’s heat level.
