What is Shrimp Creole?
Shrimp creole is shrimp simmered in a pot with tomato sauce, onions, celery, green peppers and various spices. In some ways, shrimp creole is the South's version of spaghetti and meatballs. This shrimp and tomato sauce over rice = comfort food deliciousness.
This easy shrimp creole recipe is mildly spicy. Adjust or omit the hot sauce and cayenne if sensitive to spicy foods.
Traditionally, shrimp creole is served with rice, and garnished with sliced green onions. Having said that, the garnish above is local shishito peppers, celery leaves, and chives. Get creative with the shrimp creole garnish!

The Low Down On Peeling and Deveining Shrimp:
Don't like peeling and deveining shrimp? Buy them already done. Most grocery stores sell pre-cooked shrimp which would also work for this recipe.
Whole foods will peel and devein shrimp at no additional cost most of the time if you call ahead. Shrimp can also be peeled and deveined after boiling if you don't like to peel and devein them raw.
Raw frozen shrimp that have been defrosted will also work for this shrimp creole recipe.
Keep raw shrimp on ice while you peel and devein it. This step is not necessary if working with a small amount of shrimp or if you're fast with your peel and devein shrimp game.
Where is the Lowcountry?
The Low Country (AKA Lowcountry) refers to (geographically) a low lying region off the coast of the Atlantic Ocean in portions of Georgia and South Carolina that includes sea islands and the coast line.
TIP: Keep the shells and combine with water, salt, and your favorite herb or spices to make a killer homemade seafood stock / broth.
Serving Suggestion
Even though shrimp season lasts (basically) from May through December in the Low country, this dish reminds me of summer, and I like to serve shrimp creole with an appetizer or a salad, or a nice veggie side dish.
Notes:
-Keep the shells and combine with water, salt, and your favorite herb or spices to make a killer homemade seafood stock / broth.
-Raw frozen shrimp that have been defrosted will also work for this easy shrimp creole recipe.
