It was my turn to pick for Eating with Ellie this week, and I chose Shrimp Creole.
I went seriously off piste with this recipe. I found I had no onions, so I used leek. I bought a yellow, not a green, capsicum. I used Cajun seasoning as Creole seasoning is not a thing here, and Cajun sounded pretty close. I also used frozen spinach instead of fresh baby spinach, as I used up all the baby spinach on something else, not realising that I needed it for this.
I really enjoyed this dish. It had a bit of zing, with the Cajun seasoning and tabasco sauce, and tasted really good. This is definitely one I'd make again.

Ummmm, ummm, Gaye! What a great dish, not much beats Shrimp Creole! My family would love this and me too! Thanks for the recipe.
ReplyDeleteGreat pick...we loved this. I liked how it was a healthy version, less fat and calories than the ones I have had before, so this will be new go-to for when I want to make this. Yours looks great and all your changes were in keeping with the recipe, fun to know they all work.
ReplyDeleteThank you for choosing this. I found my husband going for thirds at 11 o'clock at night. You think he might just like it?
ReplyDeleteI made it with chicken and it was great.
Cajun = Creole seasoning. What brand do you have? I have a recipe for creole seasoning if you want it. It's what I use. This was a really good pick and so close to my grandfathers recipe who is from South Louisiana.
