shrimp creole

Louisiana tomato prawns

Shrimp creole is a Louisiana dish of shrimp cooked in a spiced tomato sauce with onions, celery, and bell peppers, served over rice.

The sauce typically includes cayenne pepper, giving it moderate heat.

It's a staple of New Orleans cuisine: We ordered the shrimp creole at the French Quarter restaurant.
