I made this for someone else...as I absolutely detest seafood...BUT this person LOVED it! I used melted butter for the roux instead of oil, figured it would make it more flavorful. Used 2 kinds of pepper, paprika and tobasco sauce (my friend likes it HOT), didn't have any celery. Had to use lots of water in order for it to not come out pasty. Used frozen shrimp, worked out nicely. I cooked them a bit in some olive oil and garlic paste before transferring them to the main pot. Makes a LOT of stuff!
