Sounds yummy. Can’t wait to cook this.
I wonder if I could make this delicious sounding dish into a Spicy Italian Shrimp Dish by adjusting the creole spices to Italian blend spices.
I think you could do that Debbie.
This looks so good but sadly my system can’t handle all that heat. Could this recipe be accomplished using mild(er) ingredients in place of the hot ones? Thanks.
You can omit the green chiles, the chili powder, the cajun seasoning and the hot sauce and add instead paprika to taste about 1 1/2 tsp, 1 tsp of celery seed and up the garlic to 1 1/2 tsp. Also I use only extra virgin olive oil and half the amount to 2 Tbs. Some days my stomach can not take the heat either so being a gourmet cook I find way to improvise and not sacrifice my favorite foods or flavor. Good luck:)
Thanks so much for the “mild” version. My stomach thanks you. Love your recipes!
