Would be good. A thin Creole as far as I'm concerned.

I think it looks like a bland take on an Etoufee' minus the blond roux and dash of cream. Why not just make Etoufee'? I would still eat the shite out of it because you cant just throw shrimp and veggies in a pot and make it taste bad.

Looks like a spicy shrimp creole or tomato based shrimp and grits. I think it would be good over grits.

I make something very similar to that often and serve it over noodles. My family loves it, I grind my rotel so it isnt chunky.

When I think "smothered", I don't normally think of a tomato type sauce.

But it looks good, whatever you wanna call it.

Might be good if you don't have to keep it warm a long time. Otherwise, you may well have overcooked shrimp. Crawfish hold up a little better in my opinion. Maybe switch the shrimp for crawfish tails if it's going to sit a while on warm.
