Delicious! Take the time to make the stock from the shrimp shells, you won't regret it. I cut back on the spices so the children would eat it...they loved it. One note-when served over rice, it seemed to make it bland, maybe that was some of the issues with the previous reviews? I used canned fire-roasted tomatoes because of the season, and did not have any bacon, so used smoked paprika per another review. I will definitely make this again.

Very tasty. I cut the recipe in half and found that the servings are extremely generous (it was more like 4 or 5 servings rather than 3). Added a bit of hot Italian sausage about 1 minute after the onion/celery/etc. Like others, I used a can of diced tomatoes rather than fresh. I found that I had to let it simmer uncovered for ~15mins to get it to reduce to a good consistency but that is likely because I didn't drain the canned tomatoes.

This was REALLY good!! I had to adjust according to ingredients I had on hand, like using chicken stock instead of shrimp because I had bought the peeled and deveined shrimp, a few T's of EVOO instead of the bacon grease, and I had to omit the basil and green onions because I didn't have them either, lol. Oh, and I also cut the black pepper down to 1t. I can't imagine this recipe being any better than it was when I was done! The best shrimp creole recipe I've ever made!

This is RIDICULOUSLY good. It looks like a lot of work but really isn't. And is sooo worth it. There's a lot of cooking time where you can do other stuff inbetween. I did not put it on the rice as in the picture, but just ate it as a soup. I bet the rice would cut down the spice. I like spice, but there is a lot in this! When I give it to my boyfriend I'm sure he'll complain there's not enough ;) I *mostly* followed the recipe to a "t"...uhm, the shrimp I bought came peeled already so I had no shells to save...so I just cut up a couple shrimp and stuck them in instead. I also didn't feel like making bacon for the bacon grease, so I put it cooking oil and some liquid smoke. Smelled AWESOME, and definitely tastes good. I would probably put more in next time (I kinda eyeballed it, so, I maybe put in 1.5 tsp?) I think this would also be good with chicken in it. Thanks for the recipe, definitely a keeper!! EDIT : Whoops, I forgot. I also put the shrimp in during the last 15-20 minutes of cook time and eliminated the last step.

This is fantastic. I'll admit, I'm lazy and I use two cans of chicken broth. But otherwise I follow it exactly and it's AWESOME.

This was great!! I had black tiger shrimps that had already been peeled, so I used the tails for the stock and added a little bit of chicken bouillion powder at the end, it made a really tasty stock. I omitted the cayenne and tobasco for my 5 year olds portion and he gobbled it up and for the adults I reduced the cayenne by half, added a perfect amount of heat. I would definately make this again!

I didn't love it, but I liked it, but I don't think it's worth the time for me for just liking it.

Excellent recipe, I made a few changes just to suite my taste. I used chicken broth instead of water to make the shrimp stock and I used Rotel (pureed) instead of fresh tomatoes. Very tasty!!!!!!!!!!!!! Even my picky 9 year old enjoyed it.

Hooyah!! I was surprised how good this was. I pretty much followed the recipe to the letter, although I may have been a little heavy handed when the hot sauce bottle was tipped up, plus I added more shrimp. Very rich tasting, in part I'm sure because of the stock. Thank you!
