About This Recipe
"A family favorite, definitely one of my favorite holidays/ special occasion dishes that reminds me of home and makes me feel in touched with my Creole roots. It is a delectable shrimp stew that warms your heart and fills your belly!
This is a dish my grandmother and mother would make from time to time on Easter Sunday, for Graduations, on my birthday if I asked nicely, and as a dish apart of Christmas dinner. "
