I love this recipe....all I did was adjust the heat level because I love spicy food. The stock was not necessary b/c I used a tomato sauce which gave it a rich/heartiness. I also added some baby scallops since I ad them available.Finally, I also served it over a Basmati rice. Thhanks Neeely's for a great recipe!

Very good! I started with a dark roux first (oil and flour. Also, added some Andouille sausage, a teaspoon of creole seasoning, and substituted a dash of A1 for the Worcestershire. Will make it again!
