For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a clove of minced garlic to the bag before sealing. If you don't have a vacuum sealer, you can use a zip-top bag and the water displacement method to remove the air. Adjust the Creole seasoning to your preference. Some brands are spicier than others. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor. Consider serving the shrimp over a bed of creamy grits or pasta for a complete meal.
