Needed Less Salt
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

Having only made this for my first time I found it to be easy, tasty and on par with other recipes/products by Emeril. I... was a bit confused after making his Creole Seasoning. It yielded at least a cup but then only asked for two tablespoons in the recipe. Maybe this is a seasoning of his you can by in the store but they also gave you a recipe of how to make it on your own? Also, when seeing two tablespoons of salt in the seasoning recipe I immediately reduced it to one teaspoon and still found it a bit salty for my tastes. Read more

Good spicey recipe
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

When I cooked the shrimp as directed, they came out a really nice dark brown. I did add quite a bit more cayenne pepper than... directed and it was pleny spicy! I did not use butter and served it over rice and it was very yummy. Easy receipe especially because the ingredients for the rub comes right out of the pantry. Well worth making.Read more

Rated: 2 stars out of 5

ALL THOUGH THIS RECIPE WAS SIMPLY EFFORTLESS, IT PAID FOR IT IN TASTE. OVER ALL THE PASTA TASTED LIKE LEMON, AND WAS VERY... DRY. THE SHRIMP I HAPPEND TO SEASON AND MARINADE IN MY OWN HOME RECIPE WHICH WAS THE BEST PART OF THE MEAL. WONT USE THIS RECIPE AGAIN.Read more

Very simple and tasty
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

My kids love shrimp and pasta but nothing to herbal or of course spicy, I didn't have the green onions and I intentionally... left out the heat, which would only make it better, This was a great family friendly, fast weeknight dinner that everyone loved. Oh and I cheated and used frozen shrimp from the bag, too, but fresh would only make it better!!! I like the fact that he included the seasoning recipe for those of us who didn't have Essence on hand but could make their own blend.Read more

Simply Awesome!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was so easy it wasn't even funny! Tasted great! I didn't have Emerils Seasoning so I just used "cajun" seasoning-... worked fantastic! And it was beautiful to eat! For the 'dry white wine' I used a Chardonnay. Read more

Best Shrimp Ever!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

We made this with angel hair pasta al dente- and it turned out amazing! One of the best shrimp dishes I have ever had. We... substituted a small amount of white wine vinegar w/water for the wine, and it turned out great! My kids couldn't stop eating it! Its just a tad spicy, but nothing kids can't handle! Read more
