Man, it went down good tonight with some kind of home made seafood dinner.

Sure was an easy night. The wife enjoyed her leftover Alfredo dinner from last night. Me, enjoying the spoils of a seafood buying expedition, I will be having Shrimp Creole over crispy Idaho French fries. Messy, but good some eats. Great home made lemonade too!!

BLANK!!! You CAN NOT do that man. Shrimp Creole over fries? Blasphemy. Rice man, rice!

(Looks good though. )

Sorry, grocery trip is in order. I was out of rice, even "instant" type!!

Would ,

That would fit in a tortilla very nicely.

Care to share your shrimp creole recipe ?


If you have not tried gumbo over fries , you are missing out.
