Creole Crock Pot

Our cooking club met again this week and I have already enjoyed half of the meals! Our menu included: creole crock pot shrimp & chicken, chicken parm meatloaf, veggie lasagna, Stromboli and chicken fajitas.  The very first thing I made was creole crock pot shrimp, from Michelle.  It was so yummy!!  I can't wait to share the rest of the recipes with you, but first here is a super easy crock pot wonder!


Creole Crock Pot Shrimp & Chicken

1lb chicken thighs
1 lb shrimp
1 onion, chopped
1 bell pepper, chopped
1 celery stalk, diced
1 15 oz can stewed tomatoes
1 clove garlic
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp Cajun seasoning 

Optional for serving: fresh lime and/or rice

To eat: 
1. Place all ingredients except for shrimp in crock pot and cook on low 7-9 hours.
2. During the last 30 minutes of cooking, add shrimp
3. Serve over rice and enjoy!

To make FREEZER FRIENDLY:
1.  Add all ingredients except for chicken into gallon freezer bag.
2. Place shrimp in smaller freezer bag.
3. Place both bags in a larger bag, labeled with date and contents.
4. Cook as directed above (can be placed in crock pot still frozen).
