This was really good. I would definitely make this again.I added a can of diced tomatoes, more red pepper used white onion instead of green, and added extra rice (and extra water because the rice soaked it up).

I fixed this for lunch during a corporate meeting my husband had at our home. We had 2 guys from the New England area here. They both raved about this soup and wanted the recipe. I doubled the recipe. I also added a can of Lump crab meat and and extra 1/2c. of rice, using brown rice instead of white. I did have to add some extra vegtable juice (Red Gold) because it thickened after letting it sit over night (made the night before) then added the shrimp just before serving. Thanks for making me a hit at lunch!

This has a very nice base. I couldn't find tomato-vegetable juice, so I used a mix of spicy V8 juice and some canned diced tomatoes. Our supermarket doesn't carry good uncooked shrimp, so I also had to resort to the cooked variety. To be honest, I think the base would have been better WITHOUT the shrimp. Next time, I'm going to try clams or mussels instead. Thank you for the great recipe.

This dish was absolutely delicious! It was spicy just the way I like it and it's even better and spicier the next day. I did however, use white onions instead of green onions and put in more rice to make it thicker but it was great!!!!

I made it for my parents when they came to visit and they absolutely loved it. Both of them had seconds. I thought it was just okay. It was also very easy to make so I'll probably make it for guests even if I don't make it again for myself. I also thought the recipe might be nice with a bit more rice.

I loved it the next day!! Definitly a day ahead dish. I went with the other reviews and added the can of diced tomatoes which made it great. Also, opted for shrimp stock instead of clam juice, and white onion instead of green. Other than the few changes it was great...:) Thanks ED!! PS My Hubby loved it too..

Deicious flavors and so easy. Enjoyed by all. In our opinions, it was spicy enough without the hot sauce.

Very easy and very tasty. I used a can of diced tomatoes and, though it wasn't bad, it just seemed out of place in the recipe. I'll try something different next time.

This soup is fabulous and so quick and easy to make! I did, however, add a bit too much hot pepper sauce and it was very spicy. I would say 4 or 5 dashes would be plenty and let people season it after that as they please. Also, I omitted the salt altogether as there is plenty in the tomato and clam juices. Great recipe, Eddie!

Very good, but I just felt it was missing a little something. I used the crushed tomatoes instead of the juice and water, and I added corn and string beans. I might add just one more vegetable next time to make it heartier. But, overall it was good - a nice alternative.

Soooo yummy. I also doubled the recipe. Living in Tokyo, I couldn't find clam juice in the supermarket, so I improvised. I bought big prawns with heads attached. I took the heads off the prawns and boiled them till the water turned an orange color (from the row). I then strained it to collect the soup, which is very flavorful because of the the prawn row in it. I used this instead of water and clam juice. I also added scallops and clams, so it ended up being a very hearty soup loaded with seafood. Served to friends at lunch and everybody got seconds.

I made this last weekend when we had friends over, it went over quite well with everyone. I took the advice of other reviewers and doubled it, added canned diced tomatoes and added some large scallops. Since we live in Japan good seafood is easy to find and I am always looking for great recipes like this one! Thanks "Big Ed"!
