This is an easy dish and one my family loves. Shrimp Creole is excellent over rice and reheats well too.
❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE
This skillet dish comes together quickly and is loaded with flavor! You can easily control the spice level in this recipe, too. We prefer to enjoy this dish over rice, as it soaks up all the delicious liquid and makes it even better. This recipe is wonderful with fresh shrimp, but we don’t live in an area that has any, so we had to use frozen shrimp. You will also want to try our Chicken Creole!
At The Southern Lady Cooks, we’ve always been about the recipes..
the passed-down favorites, the Sunday staples. But at Front Porch Life, we’re picking up the conversation. Behind every dish is a memory — the scent of homemade jam cooling in the kitchen, the snap of green beans on the porch with your grandmother. The Southern Lady Cooks brings the food to your table, and Front Porch Life brings the stories to your heart. Learn more about how this Cajun restaurant brought us closer to our father..
SWAPS & ADDITIONS
We prefer to remove the tails from the shrimp, but others don’t. I am sure there is a “rule” about what is authentic and what isn’t, but you can do it however you like. You can also add more hot sauce if you like this to be extra spicy, or you can leave it out altogether. Fresh shrimp would be the best for this recipe, but frozen works too!
