We like the tart heat of Aleppo pepper in this gluten-free spin on shrimp creole. If you can’t find Aleppo pepper, a combination of 1/2 teaspoon of sweet paprika and 1/4 teaspoon of ground cayenne pepper makes a good substitute. Slideshow: More Shrimp Recipes

Some how this recipe has replaced the classic recipe by Emeril. It is not the same. Where is Emeril's recipe? Please put it back. It is supposed to be one of the 40 best of all time. I do have a copy but it is getting hard to read.

This recipe is linked to what is supposed to be Emeril Shrimp Creole recipe. I used it a few weeks ago but now it keeps linking to this recipe which is definitely not the same. Doesn't even use creole seasoning. Very disappointing that these are linked incorrectly.
