Tips
Chef Nina Compton (Top Chef, Season 11 runner-up) used Louisiana wild Gulf shrimp in this recipe because of their sweet flavor. This recipe was influenced by her Caribbean culinary background and her use of Louisiana's native ingredients, which she uses at her restaurant, Compère Lapin, in New Orleans. She continually draws inspiration from her Caribbean roots to create unique and delicious dishes like this one.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
