Crossword Genius

Producer of shredded carrot out East (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

creator

'producer' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'shredded carrot out east' is the wordplay.
'shredded' indicates an anagram.
'out' is an insertion indicator.
'east' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'carrot' anagrammed gives 'crator'.
'crator' enclosing 'e' is 'CREATOR'.

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for creator that I've seen before include "Person who makes or invents things" , "Inventor" , "The Almighty" , "Someone who makes something" , "Maker" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
