I loved this, my kids loved it, my BF thought it was good but not great. I couldn't get him to pin point why. This is a very healthy dish. Use low salt tomatoes and cut the olive oil a little and your cardiologist will be so proud.

I thought this was pretty good, but my husband didn't really care for it. I halved the recipe, but otherwise followed it, with one exception: cooking the rice. I followed the package directions to avoid ending up with gluey rice. I was surprised to see just how different my finished product looked from the photo that was showing at the time. I could have used a little more heat in this dish, but it was tasty as is.

I used 2 teaspoons of Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning for the salt and Cajun seasoning to give this a little more zing. I also cut back on the water to keep this dish a little thicker. My family loves this recipe.

Made this recipe as written. The kids and I loved it. Husband said it was good but too watery. I think he didn't use enough rice to soak up the yummy sauce! I will make this again.

Loved it but had to exponentially increase the spice level for authenticity. Thanks!

good/easy recipe...a little bland for my taste. I would punch it up with more hot sauce and cayan pepper. Also, I would add a bay leaf after adding water (I used chicken broth).

We made this after a long day of fishing and substituted our freshly caught redfish for the shrimp. It was wonderful! We are about to go fishing again and I'm getting all the ingredients to make it agian!

First time cooking something like this and really enjoyed it very much...only change I made was to add chicken stock rather than water and also added some to the rice while cooking....will definately do this one again
