Creole Shrimp is a classic southern recipe with its roots firmly in Louisiana but squarely in the crossroads of cultures from the Caribbean and West Africa. This “stew” has the holy trinity of Creole cooking with onions, bell peppers and celery. But it has a secret ingredient that makes it spectacular-Healthy On You® House of the Rising Spice Creole spice blend.
