5 new ways to prepare shrimp

2. Shrimp Creole

Traditional Cajun and Creole dishes with shrimp done right are in again. For example, chefs at GW Fins in New Orleans create traditional Shrimp Creole using a roux of peppers onions and celery, tomatoes and a stock made from Gulf shrimp shells. They add Gulf shrimp at the end of cooking, and top the dish with green onions. “It’s a brothy dish, not super thick like a gumbo,” said Mike Nelson, executive chef at GW Fins.
