Easy Shrimp Creole

This easy shrimp creole is my new favorite shrimp dish! I grew up in the north, so these delicious and heartwarming southern dishes are still new to me. As I’ve started branching out and trying new things, I’ve fallen in love with southern cuisine! This recipe originated in Southern Louisiana where gulf shrimp are famous there. I have enjoyed my time in Louisiana and have learned so much about their style of cooking.

Every time I travel I love to try the local foods. Traveling is where I have found some of my favorite recipes like my fish and chips recipe, Chicago-style deep dish pizza, and the best fried chicken I’ve ever had. There is nothing like experiencing life through other people’s food!

Ingredients

There are so many ingredients you can include in this easy shrimp creole!

However you fix it, you are going to love the blend of flavors in this dish. You can find measurements below in the recipe card.

• Olive Oil: I prefer olive oil for the flavor and it can handle a lot of heat. You can use your favorite oil, or whatever you are used to cooking with

• Onion: They are great at adding lots of flavor to the dish, and help make all of the other flavors in the dish shine.

• Garlic Cloves: Fresh garlic adds a sweet and savory flavor. It makes for a great sauce.
• Stewed Tomatoes: You can buy stewed tomatoes in a can in the canned tomato section. I don’t use a specific brand, and you should be able to find them at your local grocery store.
• Tomato Sauce: I also buy this from a can.
• Chicken Broth: You could also use vegetable stock or a shrimp stock.
• Chili Powder: Chili powder adds a little kick. You can add more if you prefer more spice, or add hot sauce too.
• Worchestershire Sauce: This sauce makes such an amazing base for any dish.
• Shrimp: This is the key ingredient!
• Cornstarch: This helps thicken up the sauce.
• Water: Helps to make more sauce.

2. Cook: Add in stewed tomatoes, tomato sauce, chicken broth, chili powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Add shrimp and cover and let simmer for about 5-7 minutes until the shrimp are cooked through. Mix together the cornstarch and water and stir into the sauce and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to let the sauce thicken.

Recipe for Salmon with Pesto

Once you try this pesto salmon, you are going to be hooked! I like to use a fresh basil pesto, but there are so many great options at the grocery store too. Salmon is a great fish to try if you are making fish for the first time. The key is to not overcook it! You want the internal temperature to be 135 degrees. It also matters what fillet you choose. There are tips for choosing the best salmon fillet piece in my tips box.

I think that pesto and salmon were made for each other! I love pesto on so many things, like this pesto alfredo chicken casserole and this easy baked pesto chicken. It turns out, I think pesto is my favorite on salmon. It adds such a bright and fresh flavor to the fish, as well as adds moisture. It’s the perfect ingredient!

Ingredients

These six ingredients come together to make the juiciest and most delicious pesto salmon you’ll ever have! It’s so simple to make and loaded with flavor. All of my kids loved this dish, which is saying something! It’s not fishy at all, and it’s so tender. It just flakes with your fork! It’s actually perfect on top of salads, with rice, or cauliflower rice to keep it lower in carbohydrates! You can find measurements below in the recipe card.

• Olive Oil: I like to cook my fish in olive oil because it has a great flavor and won’t brown like butter.
• Salmon Fillet: The key to choosing the best salmon filet is included in the tip box below.
• Cherry Tomatoes: Cherry tomatoes are really sweet and have acid that helps keep the salmon tender and juicy.
• Kosher Salt: High quality salt will taste better and make a difference in the dish!

• Basil Pesto: This is the key to your pesto salmon! You can make it yourself at home, it’s super simple! Or there are lots of great fresh options at the store too.

Pesto Salmon Recipe

There is nothing tricky about this pesto salmon recipe! It is really easy to cook a perfectly juicy and tender baked salmon fillet with just a few tips. I like to sear the salmon in a skillet and then finish it off in the oven. That way the salmon skin is nice and crispy, but the fillet doesn’t get over done.

1. Prep: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Drizzle: Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet or cast iron pan.
3. Pat Dry: Pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels and then place it in the middle of the skillet.
4. Add Cherry Tomatoes: Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet to surround the salmon fillet. Then drizzle the remaining olive oil over the tomatoes and salmon.
5. Season: Season the salmon and tomatoes with salt and pepper.
6. Bake: Bake the salmon and tomatoes for about 15 minutes or until the tomatoes start to blister and soften.
7. Add Pesto: Spread the pesto sauce over the salmon and then continue to bake for an additional 5-8 minutes.
8. Bake: Bake until it registers 135 degrees Fahrenheit when a thermometer is inserted at the thickest part of the salmon.
9. Garnish: Garnish with fresh basil and parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
