Bland, bland, bland. I also thought that there was too much onion and bell pepper. I had to add more water to the recipe as well. I think I will try this recipe again but make a few changes.

This was great! Followed the recipe exactly and the flavor is really good. I make this frequently. My boyfriend really liked this as well. I've made quiet a few recipes from here and some recipes he has made fun of me for even attempting but this isn't one of those. It's a favorite of ours. Thanks.

This is my first time rating a recipe, but I can't give this one enough stars. OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is, as my teenager says, "Off the chain"! That gravy is so full of flavor, it could stand on its own. I follow the recipe as stated & served over cheesy grits. The only complaint my kids had was it was too hot to eat as fast as they wanted to. (Hot off the stove) I can't wait 'til my husband gets back in town so he can try it. He's picky, but I know he'll love it. This one is definately on my list of family favorites! Thank you so much for taking the time to submit this recipe.

This was very easy to make and tasted delicious. I would have preferred it to be a little more runny, more of a gravy consistency but I could just add more chicken stock next time. Served over white rice.

Excellent flavor! My oldest who is a very small eater actually went back for seconds. The rice did seem to dilute the flavor of the gravy so next time I will most likely serve it over biscuits.

Ok...the roux was easy to make. But I agree with some other reviewers that this was too bland. I had to add some Old Bay to it. I guess it just wasn't what I was expecting.

This is a fantastic recipe! I agree with previous reviews that it does need more seasoning. I added Adobo, celery salt, and some cayenne for more flavor and it was fabulous! Also, I recommend that if you put this over grits, use a half and half mixture of water/milk when cooking the grits for a creamy texture. All in all this recipe is delicious!

I was looking for a great comfort food recipe and this was a hit. My husband loved this. I served it over Pillsbury biscuits and it was amazing. Initially I was nervous about making a "roux" but it was painfully easy and it was amazing how quickly I made an amazing gravy that could be a meal with biscuits. I added lots of green peppers, chopped tomato and onion to give us a good dose of veggies too.

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.
