so this is my first time making Shrimp Creole and the first time I've had it in ages. Living out here shimps are so expensive I tend to avoid these dishes. Is the color right? Too many shrimps to sauce ratio?

Fine for me. My version may be a tad more red, but it looks excellent.

I see no way this could be possible.

Spot on. That recipe is great. I added 1/2 a Serrano early on to give it a spice kick underneath. Perfect.

Oops. Thought I had mentioned it. I used the Plantation Cookbook recipe that Stadium Rat shared in the cook book.

How is that different then anything else out there? I hear you have to pay a $3 fart tax when rip in a public place.

Color difference could be that I Used heirloom tomatoes since I was halting the recipe. They were on sale so I figured fresh wouldn't hurt.

Looks good. No way to tell ratio.
Plantation recipe is a good one. I've made it many times.

You must live here in Cali. OK, 1-I it looks perfect to me and I want to know what time we are eating. 2-Do you have any Asian markets close to where you live,Ranch 99, Pacific Market, Shore View or any independent Asian Markets...Fish, shrimp, meat, chicken is usually 1/2 the price of the Lucky, Safeway, Raley's, Nob Hill ect....Seriously shop the Asian markets for your seafood....Plus you see seafood for sale that you swear only Jacques Cousteau had ever seen before...Never knew Belt fish even existed until I shopped the Asian markets

I'm feeling generous this morning. My mom's secret ingredient for Shrimp Creole, given to her many years ago by a chef at Commanders, is about a tablespoon of pickling spice in cheesecloth.

Lil thicker than I like, but otherwise good. I find most Creoles suffer from too much acidity and need some balance.
