Shrimp Creole

8x10 Acrylic on canvas board
This year I have a new years resolution of a different sort. Occasionally I will post a painting with a recipe attached. My resolution was to write and illustrate a cookbook of my favorite cuisine. I don't think I can handle the pressure of calling it a book so I will just call it an online collection instead.

Like always the paintings are for sale. I am still not able to post on eBay . If you would like to purchase "Shrimp Creole" the price is $30.00. Just contact me to arrange payment.

The first recipe is one that has been in my family for generations.
If you cant get FRESH shrimp, Chicken is good too.

Taunt Lid's Shrimp Creole
