grandma's shrimp creole
My family is originally from Galveston, Texas. It was a tradition to go stay with my Meema's sisters every summer for at least 2 weeks. Later when I grew up and was pregnant with my daughter, her maternal Great Grandmother and Grandmother put together a recipe box for me of all their Cajun/Creole recipes. Funny thing was my daughters, Cajun father didn't eat seafood of any kind.
