Shrimp Creole is a fast and easy recipe great to spice up a busy weeknight OR to serve when entertaining.
Though I always love great food, I am passionate about creating fast, easy meals that don’t require hours in the kitchen.
Shrimp Creole is no exception. I even have a TRICK to prepare it in approximately two 15 minute sessions over two days!
Shrimp Creole is a recipe that originates from the Louisiana Creole cuisine which is a combination of French and Spanish background.
Medium-size shrimp are cooked in a sauce made of tomatoes, onion, green pepper, celery with loads of earthy spices giving it some heat!
Shrimp Creole is served over prepared rice.
The thick spicy sauce is rich with flavor and a slow heat that follows each bite.
It's not overly spicy but just enough to give the recipe some character.
