This dish is not a spicy dish like some that come from Cajun Country, but the combination of fried eggplant with fresh shrimp in a cream sauce is flavorful and filling. This recipe is by the Houmas House Plantation and Gardens in Darrow, Louisiana, which is an Inn that was established in 1770, and is home to three award winning restaurants, including the Carriage House, offers the best in Creole dining. This would be a perfect appetizer for a dinner party, or a light supper.
