Stephanie, this is divine! I made it exactly as written. We had another couple over for dinner, and between the 4 of us, we polished off ALL of this! The side salads I made went virtually untouched as we ooohhed and ahhhhed our way through the meal. I have had Shrimp Creole before, but this is absolutely the best!Thanks for a great recipe... this one will get a lot of use!

Made this dish for dinner last night. It was awesome. Very easy to make and the family gobbled it right up. I will definitely make this one over and over again.

This was very easy to make and very tasty. It's even better the second day! (if you actually have any left for a second day)

Made this last night for dinner and it was good. The next day it's even better when all the flavors settle in.

This was an excellent recipe. Very simple and quick prep, but a taste that is out of this world. I used 2 cups chicken broth instead of water and it was great. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because of the cooking time listed for the shrimp. As an experienced cook, I know if you simmer shrimp for 30 minutes, you will end up with dried out rubber. Shrimp cook for 3-5 minutes, not 30. If the cooking time is adjusted, I would give this 5+++++ stars.
