Honestly, I have always eaten shrimp creole and it is mostly shrimp creole that is found on menus around New Orleans. Sometimes when shrimp season is closed and our stash of Louisiana shrimp from the freezer is depleted, I substitute chicken for shrimp. It’s a very easy and flavorful dish to put together and will appeal to your entire family. Try it with chicken or shrimp and serve with long grain, jasmine or brown rice.

Made this tonight and everyone liked it. I added a can of stewed tomatoes and a bay leaf. I used Zatarain’s Creole seasoning when cooking the chicken. Everything simmered for 30 minutes and the flavor was authentic. Oh, I skipped the lemon juice. I used brown rice. Will definitely make it again for company.

Hi,
I have been making this for years and it is a family favorite. I do add a little sugar to cute the acid in the tomatoes. It includes many vegetables, startch and meat….a complete meal. Add a salad and rolls and it is an event.
With a few adjustments, this was an amazing recipe. Rave reviews all around. I added more fresh basil and a splash of cider vinegar. The flavors layered well.
I didn’t just LOOK @ the photo, we MADE the recipe! Getting ready to eat it right now!
