Another "No Meat Friday" is coming up!
Shrimp Creole during Lent is another family tradition of ours. It has very few ingredients and is so easy to make! My grandmother, Nana, always made this for us at family gatherings and I absolutely love it!
Serve it over rice with some crusty French bread and enjoy!
