I respect Justin Wilson, I think there is no finer cook when it comes to just plain damned good creole, BUT!... I think that recipe is wrong. Please, please, please, do not cook your shrimp for 30 minutes. It'll be chewier than your spare tire.

Braised shrimp (this is when you cook in a sauce that doesn't cover) only takes 5-10 minutes tops. Shrimp is all protein and it takes no time to cook. If its nice and pink, it is done.

Mrs. Crappie Stalker, will you marry me if you get another chance at it? Any woman that begins a recipe with "one head of garlic, cut in half" is my kinda woman. :D (No offense to Mr Crappie Stalker, the lucky Mug.)
