Yep. To me shrimp and tomatoes just don't mix.

Just in cajun food, or period? Because there is an entire world of shrimp & tomatoes. To wit:
--veracruz style shrimp cocktail/Mexico
--ketchup on fried shrimp or a shrimp poboy/LA
--paella de mariscos (shrimp paella)/Spain
--smothered shrimp & okra (with or without fresh corn)/LA
--shrimp fra diavolo/Italy
--shrimp & grits/southern US
I could go on, Gump-style, into China, India, and Greece. But pretty much anywhere in the world where you find shrimp and tomatoes, people use them together in delicious dishes.
