Very good basic recipe. I added a shallot, one stick of celery, a couple of shakes of white pepper, and doubled the garlic. It didn't have quite enough spice for me, so I added Tabasco at the table.

Went down an absolute storm with Mr P this evening - he almost finished the whole pot by himself. Mostly followed recipe exactly, but added celery, minced clams with juice and doubled red pepper flakes. Very, very good indeed. Thank you.

This was really good. I couldn't find clam juice anywhere, so I used minced clams. I did think it tasted better the 2nd day than the 1st.

This was very good and I will make this again. The only things I changed was to use low sodium V8 and I used chicken broth in place of clam juice. I also tossed in about a cup of sliced okra.

This recipe was AWESOME!!! My family loved it! My oldest daughter didnt even pick out the "green stuff"! The only changes I made to the recipe were to add more garlic, celery and a can of Rotel tomatoes. Thanks for the recipe Eddie. This South Lou-zee-ana family will enjoy it for years to come.

Yummy!! My family is Cajun (from Louisiana), so I've been exposed to a ton of Cajun food in my day. I'm by no means an "expert", but from my experience, this is fantastic!! I have been taught that anytime you're using green bell pepper, you might as well toss in some celery, so I added about 1/4 cup of that. I also used 3 cloves garlic (not so much cuz it's a cajun thing to do, as it is i LOVE garlic!) and added a 10 oz. can of clams and an 8 oz can of oysters. Also upped the amount of rice to 1 cup. I've already eaten 2 servings and contemplating another as we speak...will definitley make again!! :) (Oh, may up the butter to 2 T next time though, cuz my garlic was burning before the rest of the veggies were done)

This is a very good and easy recipe. The first time I made this following the recipe exactly. The next time I made it I added 1-14.5oz can of diced tomatoes with the juice. Just delicious! Thanks, Eddie.

I made this for Sunday dinner for my husband, son, and myself...son had the misfortune of not being home when it was ready to eat...husband and I ate the entire pot of soup! This was my first time eating "Shrimp Soup." What a fantastic recipe, this is definitely one you have to try. We like things really spicy, so I did substitute V-8 Spicy Hot juice for the tomato-vegetable juice, and I cooked the shrimp separately before adding to the soup, otherwise followed recipe exactly. My husband loved this (so did I), son will have to wait till next time when I double the recipe. Thanks for the great recipe!!!

I couldn't find CLAM juice- so I just used Clamato instead and cut out the tomato juice. I also added some Tony Chatureas!

I have reviewed this before. But it is so good I had to review it again!!!! Last time I made this it was New Year's, this time I made it for Superbowl. Again it was a huge hit. I added 1/2 of spanish chorizos sliced really thin and garlic paste instead of garlic cloves. Always remeber this recipe has to be tripled or quad. if you have a crowd. I am also cooking this dish for a ladies retreat. This recipe has endless possibliities. My son had to help me cook it as I was injured and he remarked WOW is this really this easy?

We loved this one. I've made it twice, once with regular V8 juice and the other time with the hot & spicy V8. Definitely use the hot & spicy! Make sure to not overcook the shrimp because this can affect the overall flavor, too.

It was good, but next time I'll add some chopped celery to the mix, maybe some chopped onions, and definitely some Cajun seasoning. I think that will make it five stars.

This recipe was very easy to make and the end result was a great tasting meal! I doubled the ammount of the red pepper flakes, because I like my food a little spicier. Everyone in the house loved this recipe...Thanks for sharing!
