Very tasty and very easy to make. I added chopped celery to my version to give a bit of fiber to my dish. I'm used to paying $16 for this dish. Now, I can make it for $8.

Substituted cayenne pepper for paprika and it was delicious. Taste better than the packaged mix that I am used to buying.

I used this recipe because of the simplicity of the ingredients. We had some crawfish and shrimp left over from a boil and I didn't want to put forth too much effort into the leftovers. This was quick, tasty and really easy to put together. I really liked using both shrimp and crawfish. Since crawfish are a rarity for us, I will definitely make it again with just shrimp.
