There's a bonus recipe for Creole seasoning at the bottom, courtesy of fellow Catholic Mom writer [Karen Ullo](https://www.catholicmom.com/articles/author/karen-ullo/): use an empty spice jar and shake up this blend from spices you probably already have in the house. That's the blend I used to make this dish, and it's very good!   ![null](https://www.catholicmom.com/hs-fs/hubfs/20240823%20BSzyszkiewicz%202.png?width=1080&height=1080&name=20240823%20BSzyszkiewicz%202.png)   ## Creamy Corn and Shrimp Skillet  Makes 4 servings  ### Ingredients: 1 tbsp butter  1 lb. large shrimp, peeled and deveined  1 tsp Creole seasoning (see below)  1 tbsp olive oil  1 tbsp butter  1 medium onion, sliced vertically  1 cup bell pepper, diced, any color  2 cups sweet corn (about 3 ears)  2 cups zucchini, diced  2 cloves garlic, minced  1 tbsp water  1 tsp Creole seasoning  1/3 cup light cream    ### Directions: Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
