Creole cuisine is a style of cooking that comes out of the great state of Louisiana. Its principle influences are a combination of French, Spanish, French Caribbean, and African ideas. Similar to the other well-known Louisiana style, Cajun cooking, Creole recipes are both rich and spicy. However, Creole dishes tend to focus on using more natural ingredients. They don’t rely as heavily on the Acadian influences as Cajun cooking does, but rather stick closer to classical European style recipes.

"Hi, my name is Karl James, owner of Creolesoul Catering located in Round Rock, TX and on behalf of Expert Village I'm here to show you my creole seafood stew. My creole seafood stew, now this is a recipe that I kind of stump upon. I had some friends over one day and they wanted me to fix something, luckily for me I had a lot of stuff in the refrigerator, a lot of seafood. So I put all these things together kind of whipped it together. I had shrimp, scallops, catfish, raided the pantry to see what was in there. I put all this stuff together they loved it, I put it on my menu, I put everything in it it should be called A Royal Creole Seafood Stew. Because we are using fish, shrimp, scallops, crab, clams and then some sausage so we are throwing everything into the pot and coming up with something wonderful. Let's get started."

on 8/16/2008 This is a great recipe. I made this for my husbands birthday. It was very very tasty. It was very authentic tasting creole. good and spicy. Not too hard to make - You have to put some effort into it - but nothing unreasonable. The chef was pretty easy to follow . I would eat at his restaurant!
