In a small bowl or ramekin, stir together
the salt and spices; set aside.
Melt the butter in a Dutch oven set over
medium heat. Add the onion, celery, bell pepper, tomato, and a generous pinch
of salt, sweating until softened, 6-8 minutes.
Add the garlic and continue to cook until
fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the broth, tomato sauce, sugar, hot sauce,
and bay leaves; bring to a simmer.
Once simmering, stir in the spice mix.
Reduce to a gentle simmer and cook until slightly thickened, stirring
occasionally, 10-15 minutes.
When the sauce is ready, add the shrimp,
gently stirring to combine. Cover and cook over low heat until the shrimp are
just cooked through, stirring a few times, 8-10 minutes.
When ready, season to taste with salt and
pepper.
To serve, divide the rice and shrimp creole
between bowls.
