Posted on June 15th, 2008 by admin
If you’ve ever watched Forrest Gump you know that shrimp is the fruit of the sea. The first time I saw that movie and the character was rattling off all the ways shrimp can be prepared I was pretty pleased with myself that I had a family recipe for almost all of them.
Here’s one of my favorite ways of preparing shrimp:
Creole Shrimp

2 c. coarsely chopped celery
