    I loved this, quick, simple and delicious. My wife was leery when I said "Creole", thinking I was making a super spicy dish. She loved it! I added some scallops, held back on the chili powder and Tabasco for her. I Spiced mine up once it was on my plate. A new favorite in our house…

    this was a real good recipe and i shall certainly be making it again. i did take on board the comment about it possibly being too thick a sauce so i added an extra cup of stock, i also added 2 whole diced chillies and increased the onions and celery. it was really delicious.
