I didn't use the measurements much, I just threw everything in the pot. I did use #5 large shrimp and 3 links of Zumo Sausage sliced up. Also added another can of Del Monte Petite Diced Tomatoes and Tony Chachere Seasoning and black pepper. WOW! This was great and since i'm pregnant, I'm craving it at all hours of the night now.

This was a great "base" recipes for shrimp creole. As one user stated, the sauce just tasted like tomatoes. I used a 28oz can of crushed tomatoes and tomatoe paste for the sauce. I also had to add aaaaaalot of seasoning to the sauce to give it some flavor. I added paprika, extra worsteshire, red pepper flakes, seasoning salt and a healthy amount of old bay. I added these ingredients a little at a time unti the creole was very flavorful and spicy. Also, after peeling the shrimp I added a little salt and pepper and let them marinate in the fridge with hot sauce for about 20 minutes. Overall, this recipe was great, however if you like your food flavorful you'll need to add a lot of seasonings.

This is in the "keeper" box now. Easy, fast and tasty and if there is any left, it's a lunch to look forward to next day.

This was extremely tasty, and very easy to change as necessary. I had only about 1/2 pound of shrimp and no tomato sauce, so I estimated all the rest of the ingredients and used a little tomato paste and Creole seasoning. It was quick to make, and I'll use this recipe again.

I loved that this was so fast and easy, but I did think it was quite bland. I added about a 1/4 cup of red wine which helped alot, and 2 Tbls of parsley. Next time I might would replace the stewed tomatos and tomato sauce for diced tomatos and see how that works. I thought the tomato flavor was too strong.

All I can say is this recipe is YUMMY! I even brought the leftovers for lunch today! It was so easy too! I did substitute the Chili Powder with Creole Seasonings and added a bit more Hot Sauce. When I told my Husband I was making Creole he replied - "Yuck I hate Creole" Then he proceeded to eat 2 full plates! Our daughter loved it too!

Great recipe!! I used a little less cornstarch and a little more spice, but it really depends on your personal taste. All my picky eaters asked for seconds and it was SO easy to make. I also suggest to add/use cubed pieces of cooked chicken (for a cheaper version).
