Excellent Shrimp Creole image

This is the best recipe I have found for Creole. It was given to me by a Cajun. You will not be disappointed! (I sometimes substitute frozen peeled cooked shrimp and it comes out great).

This shrimp creole was okay. The sauce was a bit bland and the shrimp were slightly overcooked. I wouldn't make this again.

This shrimp creole was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. The sauce was flavorful and the shrimp were cooked perfectly. I will definitely make this again, but I will use less cayenne pepper next time.
