This was easy and tasted very good. Would be great to serve guests since most everything is done earlier and put in crockpot with just the shrimp added last.




Great meal

Strange Undertaste

This recipe had a strange undertaste. I believe the Worchestershire sauce was responsible. This tasted unlike any shrimp creole recipe this New Orleans native ever had. If I made this again, I'd leave that out and add a little garlic.




Needs more spice

I liked how easy this was to make but thought it was really bland. Perhaps using stewed tomatoes with green chilies help the taste.




Delcious!!!

Loved it. Next time we need to add a little more heat. But it was sooooo good!!! Can't wait to see how the leftovers taste today for lunch. I'm sure the flavors have matured and gotten more spicy! Yummy!!!




5 for being easy and tasting great

I think the results were great for the amount of effort this required. We really enjoyed this quick meal. I reduced the chili powder and hot sauce, because I worried it might be too much....but it needed more kick so next time I will make it according to the recipe. Thanks for a great easy recipe!




To Much Trouble for the results

Maybe if I had spent the extra and bought the shrimp peeled and devained it would have been worth the trouble. It was very bland tasting, I expected it to have more kick.




I'll make this again!!

This is a great recipe. I added frozen okra the last 30 minutes of cooking and a little more chili powder, we like things spicy. I will cook this again, my family loved it!

I just loved this recipe. I'm not fond of really spicy dishes but this was just right. I used chipotle sauce and pre-cooked shrimp. Definitely a recipe for the family box.




Fabulous Dish

I made this dish for the first time this week. It was fabulous. My husband ate two helpings! The only thing I added was a bay leaf to the sauce while in the crock pot. I am from Georgia, so Paula can do no wrong in my eyes. I will be making this again soon.

I would have to say that this is my favorite Paula Dean dish. It is so good and everyone that I have made it for has loved it.




Easy and Tastey

I really enjoyed this receipe, saute a few ingredients. Add everything but the shrimp to the crockpot and you have a fast, easy, and hot meal with some instant or even long grain rice. I loved it. I actually watched the esipode and then got online for the receipe I made it just as easy as Paula. Thanks!




Very healthy for Paula!

This is a great recipe for people trying to watch their weight! I am following Weight Watchers and most of Paula's meals are fun to watch her cook, but are too high in calories to eat. This one works even if you cut the oil in half. Add some jalapeno peppers as a topper and you have a winner.




You forgot the Creole

User: Sylvia from Kenner, LA    User Rating:
Luvya, Paula, but you forgot the Creole. What makes it 'CREOLE' is that it starts with a ROUX(1/4 cup oil, 1/4 cup flour) sauteed until golden, then the 'Trinity' is added and sauteed till limp, then the tomato sauce and a soupcon of water just to rinse out the can. Seasoned simply with salt, pepper, cayenne, and bay leaf. Cook for at least twenty minutes. Add shrimp and cook till done. Without a roux, you're cooking Shrimp in Italian Gravy or Shrimp ala Not From NOLA or Shrimp with Flaming Potholder(if you saw the show). Probably tasty, but not Shrimp Creole!




Needed a little jazzing

I doubled everything but the shrimp, added garlic and a minced adobo pepper with a spoonful of sauce. The roof of my wife's mouth fell out, but I thought it was FANTASTIC!!!




My family loved this!

We added a little garlic to the veges and some hot links to the sauce. A little "Gumbo Creole", it was yummy and I'm sure we will be making it again.




Excellent

This recipe was great, easy and delicious! The only thing I did differently is added 2 cans of tomatoes instead of one to make a little extra saucy.




YUMMY

My wife and kids all love this one. Used regular pot instead of crock pot and put in 2 pounds of shrimp for 4 of us. Buttered the rice before serving.
