You'd think this recipe came from my brother who used to be a chef in New Orleans. Nope, this is one of Ma'am's. We enjoyed Cajun and Creole cuisine long before Michael ever moved there. Maybe that was part of the reason he went.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There isn't much to say about this recipe that isn't in the recipe. Chop up the veggies, saut\u00e9 them, throw in canned tomatoes and shrimp and heat it up. Serve over rice, quinoa, couscous, pasta, potatoes or whatever suites your fancy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have hot sauce on the side for those that like it \"kicked up\" and you can please just about everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creole versus Cajun<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both cajun and creole cuisines originated in Louisiana, particularly around the area of New Orleans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creole recipes developed in and around the city itself and have a wide range of influences including Caribbean and African.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cajun recipes generally developed outside of the city in the surrounding bayou areas and have a more French influence (from the French Canadian Acadians that migrated to the area).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creole recipes use more herbal seasonings (thyme, parsley, oregano, rosemary) and often include tomatoes and tomato products while Cajun recipes usually use a variety of ground peppers (black, red and white) and don't use tomatoes.<\/p>\n\n\n
