Wonderful recipe. Thanks for sharing. I made this tonight with a few changes. Added 2 stalks chopped celery. I used 3 cloves of garlic and 2 TBS of butter. Chicken broth instead of water. Red pepper powder instead of red pepper flakes (this was a tasty spicy accident). I used a cup of basmati rice. Along with the shrimp I added turkey kielbasa sausage. We will definitely enjoy again and again. Thanks so much!

Excellent recipe!! Didn't change a thing and my family devoured it. The only thing I would do differently next time is too double the recipe so we have left overs! thank you for sharing!

Really delicious. Did not add salt, clam juice and veggie juice has enough. Served with cornbread muffins.

I did make an addition. I added okra and more rice. But this soup is very good and simple. Thanks Big Ed..

I made this as directed except for 2 things. I added a can of lump crab meat, which was excellent! Also, I went to my pantry to add the rice, and found out I didn't have any. I already had the soup going, so I ended up substituting the rice with orzo. Turned out just fine and my husband was happy because he doesn't like rice very much. To me, this soup tastes a lot like jambalaya. I will definitely make again!

We love this soup! We use broth instead of water, add a couple of stalks of celery and onion instead of green onion, and add a can or two of clams in their juices instead of the clam juice. You can make it as spicy as you want and as liquidy (or not) as you want. Absolutely delicious-and healthy, too!

I made this soup last night because I'd forgotten to take something out of the freezer for dinner. I had a bag of shrimp that I easily defrosted in some cool water and so I was set to go as I had all the other ingredients in the pantry/fridge! I added some smokies (any smoked sausage would work) to give it the smoky flavour I think Cajun food needs. I also used the single serving sized V8 juice cans and put in three to stretch the meal. I think the idea of some celery is a good one and will put some in the next time!

I think this recipe is a great base, but lacking as written. Where are the veggies? I added a bunch of okra and corn, and that filled it out niceley. I also did 1/2 chicken broth and 1/2 v8. Will make again with my mods. THANKS
