Shrimp and Chicken Creole

Z2-Seafood,Z2-Soup,Z2-Entrees,Z2-Poultry

This tastes pretty darn authentic. Creole… or low country food. If you want it spicy you might consider adding a bit of cayenne (1/4 tsp) or the same amount of red pepper flakes. An final alternative would be to put a bottle of Tabasco on the table for people to add their own.
