Publix had shrimp on sale this week so I thought I'd buy some before the price skyrockets because of the Gulf Coast oil spill. I found a WONDERFUL cajun creole recipe online. I made hush puppies and bought some fresh sweet corn to finish off the meal. See below if you want to try it too............
CAJUN SHRIMP CREOLE2 lbs shrimp
2 16 oz cans Cajun stewed tomatoes
