Prepare the vegetables: dice the celery, green bell pepper, and onion, and mince the garlic.
In a crock pot, combine the diced celery, green bell pepper, onion, minced garlic, crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, and tomato paste.
Add the sliced andouille sausage to the crock pot, followed by Cajun seasoning, bay leaves, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce (if using). Stir everything to combine evenly.
Cover the crock pot with a lid and cook on LOW for 4 hours, allowing the flavors to meld together and the vegetables to soften.
30 minutes before the cooking time is up, add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the crock pot. Stir gently to ensure they are submerged in the liquid.
After 30 minutes, check that the shrimp are fully cooked and pink. Remove the bay leaves, as they are not edible.
To serve, ladle the soup into bowls and top with a scoop of cooked white rice. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a bright, fresh finish.
Serve hot, and enjoy your delicious Shrimp Creole Soup!
