    It was ok but that was about all. Just too plain even with a little extra spice added. I didn't like the texture of the rice, just got a little to mushy with the added water. I followed others advice and used chicken stock in place of water and added a handful of chopped squash and spicy sausage, still couldn't get this one to the "need to make it again" level. All that said if you have more simple tastes or kids that don't want a lot of spice, this might work for you.

    Rather bland. Super simple to make however it would need alot of doctoring to get the flavor up. Wouldn't make this one again.

    Not a winner for us. We prepared the dish as per the recipe and it was just ok at best. Adding other ingrdients and rating the recipe as 5 star does not fairly represent the recipe given. Take others advice and add andouille, peppers etc. for better result.

    This recipe is very easy and so good. My daughter doesn't eat a lot of different things, but likes rice and shrimp really enjoyed it. I just didn't mention the Cajun part so she wouldn't have anything bad to say before she tasted it. I add a shake of red pepper flakes and the rest remained the same. Mother in law took the left-overs!!

    This is a winner. I cooked 4 Louisiana Hot Links, cut them up and added them into the mix right before the rice and it really gave the dish a nice kick. I also added one tablespoon of Emeril's Essence in addition to the two tablespoons of Cajun seasoning since some previous reviewers said the dish was too bland. Finally, I didn't have fresh parsley but I did have some cilantro and the substitution tasted great!

    Don't forget the lemons! They really add to the flavor. My family LOVED this and I will make it again for sure.

    My family loved loved loved this one!!! It really wasn't too spicy. (for us anyway... My 3 year old had his eaten before I ha a chance to sit down myself! My 4 year old loved it too. My husband wants this as a regular staple. Once a week or so. All around terrific dish. Quick, easy, and gone, gone gone... I keep forgetting to serve the lemon on the side. I bet it would go great,but not necessary... Used cilantro instead of parsley, nice and fresh!

    My fiance and I thought that this recipe was pretty darn good. I just made it a few days ago and we're already planning to make it again this week! I made a couple of substitutions: Brown rice instead of white, parsley flakes instead of fresh parsley, and green onion instead of scallions (and less than the recipe called for since im not big on onions. I also did not mix the rice with the rest of the dish. In our house its just our preference to keep the rice (or in other cases pasta separate. The only complaint was that it could stand to be a little spicier so i'll add more seasoning next time. I'll also need to double the recipe because it didn't last very long at all.

    I was slightly disappointed in this recipe...it was too bland for my palate. I added a couple more tomatoes as well as some other ingredients. Next time I will add an onion, I will flavor the rice while cooking, maybe in some chicken or shrimp stock...perhaps a little soy sauce for depth.
