From Pantry to Table

Shrimp Creole is a fiery, soul-warming dish rooted in Louisiana tradition. Plump, tender shrimp are simmered in a bold tomato sauce infused with sweet peppers, onions, garlic, and a perfectly balanced kick of Creole spice. Served over a mound of fluffy rice, every spoonful delivers a comforting blend of heat, sweetness, and savory depth. Whether you’re feeding a crowd or spicing up a weeknight dinner, this pantry-friendly version brings the bayou straight to your table—no fresh seafood required.
