Easy Shrimp Creole

This delicious shrimp creole is one of my favorite recipes from growing up. A New Orleans classic, it is the ultimate one pot meal. Perfect for entertaining, special occasions or just everyday! Shrimp are simmered in a tomato sauce with the Holy Trinity of vegetables: onion, green bell pepper and celery and served over rice. This dish just gets better with time so making it the night before is always a good idea.

On the Mediterranean diet, it is recommended to eat two servings of seafood per week. Seafood like shrimp is a lean source of protein, low in saturated fat and a great source of micronutrients like selenium and iodine.
