Savory comfort food doesn't have to be unhealthy. Creole shrimp and chicken definitely qualifies as comfort food, but this well-spiced bowl manages to do it without the mounds of butter and cheese that comfort favorites often resort to.

  1. Valerie REVIEW:

    This recipe was good. The directions say to bring the mixture to a boil but there really isn't much liquid to boil unless you're using canned (undrained) tomatoes, but the recipe doesn't specify that. It's a nice lowfat recipe with lots of flavor (loved all the spices).
