This was very disappointing. I made these changes and it turned out fantastic. First I used tomatoes with chillies and peppers, cut the cornstarch in half, tripled the chili powder,added 1/2 teaspoon creole seasoning and added 1/2 teaspoon old bay.

This tasted just ok, but I'm going to rate it a 4 because its easy to make and because my boyfriend, who's stingy on stars and only gave it a 3, did say he would eat it again. I added cajun seasoning, paprika, and tripled the amount of chili powder and hot sauce and still found this lacking flavor (although it had plenty of heat!). I will continue to look for a restaurant quality recipe but will keep this one on hand for a quick meal. Oh yeah, I also used only 1 tbsp of corn starch.

Just made this last night and doubled the recipe. It was so easy and was a HUGE hit. I loved it! ...I actually could've added a bit more hotness to it, but that can be done on a bowl to bowl basis.

Gave four stars since it needed some minor modifications to make it better: - Instead of cornstarch, used 1/4 cup flour after sauteing veggies in 4 tbsp. butter to make a roux. - Added about 4 oz. of water to thin the sauce out a bit. - Added a dash of cayenne, couple tbsp of salt and pepper as well as some Paul Prudhomme Poultry Magic to give it a little mor flavor and spice. - Coated shrimp in Poultry Magic seasoning before adding to the Creole sauce.

I served this at a dinner party to mixed reviews. Friends who love cajun food and have eaten in Louisiana didn't like it, and complained that it was bland. The others who didn't normally eat cajun food loved it. It's a great dish, but not an authentic Louisiana Creole flavor.

Very good, I doubled the recipe, except still used one can of diced tomatoes and as always added more hot spices, and some fresh parsley. I used the 2T of corn starch that was suggested for doubled recipe and it was perfect. Served over rice with eggrolls.

This WAS easy to make, and since I was peeling my raw shrimp anyway, I decided to take THEDAD's suggestion to make a stock from the shells. I also used a bit of fresh ground black pepper, and about a tablespoon of dried parsley (but I also needed to double the recipe). My family of finicky eaters LOVED it! I will definately make this again, even if I take some's suggestion to use cut up chicken breast pieces to save a little $$$$.

I just loved this recipe! I didn't happen to have any shrimp so I used cooked, cubed chicken tenderloins instead. I too, only used half of the cornstarch and increased the chile powder and Worchestershire substantially. I wanted plenty of sauce for the rice so I added a can of tomato soup and was really pleased with the little bit of sweetness it provided. I also had some beautiful sliced yellow squash frozen that I cubed and added and was a delicious addition.

Great! I have never made this before and it was very easy. I agree with one of the other reviewers that said 2 tablespoons of cornstarch is too much. I decreased the amount to 1 tablespoon and also added some water as it was still very thick.

This was very disappointing. I thought it was going to be a lot better than it was. I gave it three stars because I was hoping that maybe because I had to substitute some of the ingredients it didn't come out as good. It just didn't have that wow factor.

Tasty. Tripled the chili powder and hot sauce, still wasn't spicy enough for me! Just a note: make sure you saute your celery longer & separately or chop it fine. Otherwise, it will stay crispy long after your onion and bell pepper are done. I didn't like the crispy celery in mine, but I knew better! Served over rotini pasta, went well together. Will try with crab next.

I really enjoyed this dish. I didnt add the butter because i tried to make a healthier version without it. It still came out great. I also added a few more spiced to pump up the heat. It goes perfect served over steamed rice and corn on the cob for a complete meal.

My boyfriend and I really enjoyed this recipe. I used tilapia filets instead of shrimp. I added an extra 8 oz can of tomato sause and a few more dashes of worcheshire to ensure there was enough sauce to serve over the rice. This was delicous...thanks for the recipe.

I love this recipe and make it all the time. I sometimes substitute Rotel tomatoes for the stewed tomatoes and we love the extra kick. Often times I'll make it with chicken breasts as I always have the ingredients in my pantry.
