I’ve always been a fan of spicy foods but I like to vary the basic flavors that carry the heat. Cajun food and spices provides a wonderful addition to my regular Southwestern and Asian mix of hot, spicy dishes. I have several Cajun cook books but have found much better recipes here at CSE. I made this Creole Shrimp last night and everyone raved about it. I usually play with any recipe I cook but in this case decided to stick with it exactly as written. I used Pendery’s Cajun Seasoning rather than Emeril’s Cajun blend I usually make myself. The only variation I made was to use diced tomatoes with green chilies and regular tomato sauce. I give this 5 stars!I've cooked/tasted this recipe!
