    Excellent. Even better with andouille sausage slices browned in pan first. Also a better consistency if you add some tomato paste to sauce to act as thickener.

    This dish was very spicy but I really liked it. I did make a few changes for instance, I made the sauce a little thicker then what the recipe called for by adding a little corn starch and water. It came out really good.

    Too spicy and too thin. Needs a thickener.

    The recipe was easy to follow and had really good flavor. I made a few adjustments, and added some spicy cajun sausage, and thickend the sauce a little. Very hearty, my family loved it!!

    This was my first time eating or making this meal and it was really good. My favorite shrimp recipe was shrimp scampi but I have to say this recipe replaced as my favorite shrimp meal.

    Did a Cajun themed night and made my first shrimp creole using this recipe. It was delicious! I did find it to be soupy so I let it simmer for about an hour and added a tablespoon of tomato paste. Also added chopped up chicken thighs that really added flavor. This was a huge success for a hungry bunch watching the Saints game!

    Great flavor... the sauce was a little runny so I had to improvise with some tomato paste, my husband isn't much of a fish fan so I substituted chicken & chicken stock. Overall great dinner though!

    I thought this was an excellent base recipe. But at my house we like things spicy! So I added a few ingredients to kick up the heat: a chopped jalapeno pepper & about a teaspoon each of hot spanish paprika & hot chili powder. I also added cumin which my dad said gives shrimp depth of flavor. One thing I should note is that I followed the cooking instructions yet the celery came out crunchy. It wasn't bothersome, but if you don't want crunchy celery you might consider increasing the simmer time or chopping it extra finely. There seemed to be some confusion among other reviewers about the kind of tomatoes that should be used and I think I figured out why. The recipe as appears here on the website calls for whole tomatoes. But on the show, Gina said that she was adding crushed tomatoes. I’d go with what was said on the show.

    Pat & Gina - THANKS for such a good recipe. The flavor is great and easy to manage. I make this often. The one thing I do change is I use Vegetable stock instead of Seafood stock. I think it lets the flavor of the spices come thru better
