Thanks for a wonderfully easy recipe. I made this tonight and it is absolutely excellent. I used one stick of unsalted butter, and only a small pinch of salt with the shrimp. I made creamy grits using chicken stock and boiled the shrimp tails in the stock, strained the broth for 3.5 cups, add .5 cup of water and 1 cup of half and half for smooth, velvety grits. Delicious for sure.

This was very tasty! I didn't have grits so I used white rice cooked with a bit of soy sauce. Delicious, thanks!

This may be authentic, but it's still a little blase. The sauce was good, if a bit bland, and I'd definitely season the grits (if you have chosen grits for your base). I think it would be spectacular over seasoned potato wedges (it needs a little 'kick'), but then it might lose its traditional-deep-south-appeal.

A friend served this to us and we were in heaven. Being a New Yorker this is a new dish for me. He served it with grits and it was truly a winner. I am ready to make it for my company now. Other reviews suggest adding spices, don't.

Very good recipe. Hubby liked it lots. we added cajun seasoning for flavor. we put it over fettucini noodles, we both agree it would be better over rice. I doubled the sauce but now feel that was not necessary as it spread the shrimp too thin. overall, very good

Really good, my husband loved it. I will definately add a little spice next time to give it a kick but it was very good and I know the leftovers will be great! Tip for those who feel it is a little watery... I scooped my shrimp out and boiled the sauce to reduce and thicken it and then dumped the shrimp back in. So they were cooked perfectly!

Very, very good. It was my first time browning a roux and it took a long time, more like 20 minutes to get it dark brown. When I first started the roux I didn't think it looked thick enough, so I added some more flour and the end result was just about the right thickness. I used leftover Cajun spiced shrimp and a little shake of Cajun seasoning in the sauce. The finished product was great. I served it over Gouda cheese grits.

This was a good recipe. Followed it to the tee, but ended up adding a lil 'kick' to it at the end to suit the spicy tastes of my family.

I loved this recipe. I made it because I wanted something different, and I use my boyfriend and his brother as my testers and they loved it too. I did everything execpt for adding the bacon, (we don't eat prok) and I added a squeeze of half a lime, two dashes of hot sauce, and it was very tasty. Thank you for whom ever created this recipe.

The recipe was good...not great. I added about a tablespoon of brown sugar to it because it was a little too salty and slightly bitter at first. If my kids weren't eating with us I probably would've added some hot sauce as others have suggested. The gravy was also very thin and I had to add a flour mixture to thicken it up at the end. I served it over rice for dinner and was actually surprised at my families great response to it. I will definately make it again for them, with the tweaking.

The gravy was very water but tasted good. I served over rice. A little more seasoning is need to keep this less bland though.

My husband and I LOVED this recipe. And how refreshing it was to be able to fix it just-like-it-says and have it turn out so great! The shrimp were not quite done prior to adding the chicken stock, but like the recipe said, they finally DID cook completely and were exceptionally tender. Only change I'll make next time will be to add a little red Louisiana hot sauce to spice it up some. I served it over white rice.

I really enjoyed this dish! Very easy to make! I did cheat a little and added partially thawed frozen shrimp just before serving. I will definately will make this again! I served this dish with biscuits but hubby definately was upset that I didnt make it with grits!
