Creole Shrimp on Biscuits for Two
Ingredients:
1 pound of shrimp, de-veined (Set Aside four for garnish)
1 large onion, chopped
2 stalks of celery, thinly sliced
2 Tbsp. margarine
1 large can of ready-made biscuits (or your favorite recipe)
(i use Grand's)
2 cans of cream of shrimp soup
1 cup half and half
Creole seasoning (McCormick’s)
Garlic powder
In a large saucepan, heat margarine on medium heat.
Add the chopped onions and celery to the saucepan and
cook them until very soft.
Pour in soup (do not add water). Cook on low heat for about 5 minutes.
(While waiting, heat oven and cook biscuits as directed.)
Add half and half and cook another 5 minutes.
When soup is done, add chopped shrimp and cook for another 15 minutes.
Season to taste with Creole seasoning and garlic powder.
Split the four shrimps in half length-wise.
Spread a little of the soup in the center of each plate.
When biscuits are done, split in half and place on the plate. Arrange shrimp halves in a heart-shape on each biscuit, and spoon shrimp soup in the well created by the shrimps, as well as a drizzle over the biscuits.
A nice side to this is fresh Strawberries in slightly sweetened Orange Juice, served in a Champagne glass.
