Shrimp Creole
I make this using my Creole seasoning mix you can use your own favorite seasoning mix, Tony Chachere’s Creole seasoning mix is great also
Notes from our test kitchen; make this as spicy as you like by adjust the Creole seasoning and/or the hot sauce, you may omit the Creole seasoning and only use the hot sauce I prefer it with the Creole seasoning added
