Creole Shrimp From Charleston Cookbook


By Frugal Homekeeping (Visit website)

(5.00/5 - 2 votes)



This old recipe comes from the cookbook called, "Charleston Receipts". It sounds delicious and is on my "to-try list". I plan to review this great old cookbook tomorrow. Please come back for my Old Cookbook Review on Friday and see why you Need this cookbook (from 1950) which had 23 separate printings; now that, is a popular local cookbook!

There are many recipes from the early 1800's which, along with their stories, were submitted by original Charleston families. I love this cookbook so much that I plan to feature recipes from it all next week, with the exception of Menu Planning Monday and my Old Cookbook Review on Friday. Please join me for these great old "receipts"!

Best shrimp creole you will ever eat! I sometimes use pureed tomatoes and omit the tomato paste.

I have been preparing this recipe for 40 years, and it is still the best I have ever eaten. I do make one substitution: I use crushed tomatoes rather than whole ones... less messy! My mother gave me this cookbook the first year I was married. The price on the inside cover is $4.95. The price on hers was either $1.95 or $2.95.
