This is something I have been wanting for while, but couldnt really find a recipe I liked for it. I knew what flavors I wanted, so I figured I would just throw it together and try it. It came out perfect, the exact way I wanted it! Hope you enjoy!

    This is an awesome spicy creole dish. I added chorizo sausage to the creole mix and it gives it an even better kick.

    Shrimp Creole Shrimp Creole

    A Bayou classic that starts with the “holy trinity.” It’s a seasoned tomato based sauce that gives it a “Creole” flavor and hence the name. Season to taste (or add some heat) and/or other ingredients such as andouille sausage. I substituted the roux here, using a paste, for ease but primarily for a desired tomato rich color.

    Everyone from the Gulf states has their preferred version of this dish. What distinguishes Shrimp Creole from an Etouffe is tomatoes and tomato sauce. This is a recipe I have tweaked over the years and have grown to love, and so does my family.

    My version of a southern classic, shrimp Étouffée is a really easy, but full flavored cajun shrimp dish. It's full of vegetables and shrimp in a flavor packed broth. Make it as spicy as you like!

    They say that when you eat with your hands, food tastes better, you enjoy it on a different level. How do Creole shrimp tacos with a touch of Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Spain sound? It's a new and exciting option, sure to cause a stir. Be careful - these tacos are so good that once you start eating, you won't be able to stop!
