Shrimp Creole is a vibrant and flavorful dish with roots deeply embedded in the rich culinary tapestry of Louisiana Creole cuisine.
Because of that deep and rich history, it’s always a little scary when you proclaim something to be…. The best! However, I’ve made this New Orleans creole shrimp recipe a few hundred times over a 22-year personal chef career, and it’s always a hit. I first had Shrimp Creole in New Orleans, and this comes mighty close!
This Creole classic starts with onions, celery, and green bell pepper (called the “Holy Trinity”), which are sauteed until melty soft. Then, Creole seasoning is added with more herbs and spices to take it up yet another notch. The savory tomato sauce simmers with all this goodness, ready for the shrimp to be added, which is then cooked to perfection!
