Creole Sauce

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 stalks of celery, diced
1 medium onion, diced
1 medium green bell pepper, diced
4 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tablespoon creole seasoning
2 medium tomatoes, diced
Half cup chicken broth
Dash of Tabasco
Dash of Worcestershire sauce
Juice of half a lemon
1 15-ounce can of tomato sauce

In a four-quart stock pot on medium-high heat, add the first four ingredients. Cook until onion begins to wilt.

Add the next two ingredients and cook for two minutes. Add the remaining ingredients and simmer for 15 minutes.

Serve with sauteed shrimp or chicken. Also great over broiled haddock.
