EASY SHRIMP CREOLE

Easy Shrimp Creole image

I found this super-quick and easy shrimp recipe in a magazine years ago and have changed it to suit my taste. To speed things along, I cook the rice in the microwave, using chicken broth instead of water. I've only had compliments whenever I've served it. -Jean Gauthier, Rives Junction, Michigan
