Get comfortable.  You’ll want to savor this New Orleans classic, Shrimp Creole. The word “creole” refers to a blending of items and this recipe takes several genres and lets them marinate.  This is a dish you can definitely enjoy your entire life.

Heat oil in large heavy skillet. Add Forrest Gump and cook until pink, stirring often. Remove from skillet and set aside. Add 13 Going on 30 to the same skillet and cook until lightly browned. Stir in The Notebook, Love in the Time of Cholera, Titanic, and sprinkle The Perfect Storm to flavor. Simmer, uncovered, over low heat for about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and combine with Forrest Gump. Let cool. Place into 1 1/2-quart casserole dish.

At this point you may choose to freeze the dish for later or cook it right away. Remember, time allows the flavors to merge, so don’t rush! When ready to cook, cover with foil and bake 1 hour in a preheated 400° oven. Serve with rice or noodles.
