Shrimp Creole

[BamaProud]

My Grandmother(Nana) used to make it all the time. This is my first attempt. I just read a bunch of recipes online and made up my own.

uhhhhh, could be just me, but you are using the wrong size shrimp(this is a question)?

Sure looks good.

Yea, I just used what I had in the freezer. Shrimp are ridiculously expensive in Tennessee. It turned out great, but I really wish I had my Nana's recipe.

I can almost smell it.

Thanks
Wife is gathering supplies right now.

You have a favorite rice?

You use a cooker or just a regular sauce pan? (we have both. I do not like the cookers)

You cook more rice than you need and then save it? (I toss leftovers this makes me enemy of state)

Here are two of the recipes I used:

I have Shrimp stock, so I used that instead of water.

Shrimp Creole is almost as much about the tomatoes as it is the shrimp.

Looks good, either way.

Making creole today. The links posted above aren't working. Here are the updated links.

Emeril's Shrimp Creole

Shrimp Creole originated in South Louisiana where gulf shrimp are plentiful. The shrimp are simmered in a spicy tomato sauce and the dish is served over rice. It makes a great one-pot meal for family gatherings or potlucks.

I love shrimp Creole. And interestingly enough, it's named for the Creole tomato, not for the style of food it's called. New Orleans has a Creole tomato festival every June, and it's hard to describe how good that variety is.
