***** If all of the shrimp are eaten, I usually freeze the creole base. Sometimes if I have leftover grilled fish (if whole, debone) and add to gravy right before serving. Fish just needs to heat not cook. You can also add crabmeat. My family likes boiled eggs with the creole. I use to add to gravy but then eggs are lost if not eaten. So now I just boil eggs and leave in shell and serve in bowl next to creole. People can take what the want. *****With leftover boiled eggs, I make egg salad, tuna salad or deviled eggs.
