Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I made this recipe as is and it was really enjoyable. There are lots of ways to change this recipe and make it your own. ... Best of all, you can mix up all the dry ingredients and keep on hand for a quick meal. I love the versitility of this recipe.Read more

TRY IT IN YOUR CROCKPOT!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My goodness!! I made this for Valentines day for our family. Dang it was great. I made just a few changes. Fresh onions,... chili powder instead of cayenne cause I didn't have anycayenne. Let everything but the meat cook for 4 1/2 hours. I did not cook the rice first. It was to die for. One guest told me it was better flavored than what she had had in New Orleans. Tasted like I slaved! I put the sausge in 1 hour before completion and the shrimp I added 5 minutes before I served. The mix was so hot it cooked the shrimp right up. I did use the coffee trick mentioned earlier in these reviews. You will love it!! KathyRead more

GREAT (and versatile enough for a few adjustments)
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I saw your show while at the dentist , All three of us were watching (dentist and her asst) ! I decided what a fantastic... idea for dinner - I stopped on the way home and bought andouille sausage (at the Jewel!!) to complement the sausage and shrimp I already had at home - then I added a banana pepper, half of a red pepper and a slice from a green pepper. I switched the dried ingredients to fresh (cause I love the smell) and voila!! It's time foir dinner - gotta go, thanks Paula !! You made it look easy and tasty! - Val Read more

Not so tasty
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

This recipe was so easy to make. However I felt like it lacked taste. It was ok and I'm sure I'll make it again. My husband... really enjoyed it. I just wish it had a bit more flavor.Read more
