Créole cuisine

Shrimp Créole - a lovely combination of ingredients that harmonise beautifully. Picture this: plump shrimp, juicy tomatoes, and a medley of aromatic herbs coming together in a rich, tomato-based sauce served over bed of herbed rice. A celebration of Créole cuisine, and it doesn’t disappoint. Finish with beignets, a delightful treat.
