Really good. Made 1/2 recipe and put in on couscous.

I thought this was very simple and tasty. It wasn't quite as spicy as I would have liked so I added a little crushed red pepper. I also emitted the green onion and used for roasted red peppers instead of the green pepper.

Oh...my...gosh! This recipe is awesome! My daughter goes to a small private school and each year during Teacher Appreciation Week, the parents cater lunch, so I filled a large crock pot to the brim with this recipe and there was none left; they loved it! I believe I earned an A+ for this project!

I made this with my wife for a whole group of people about 4 years ago. Everytime I see one of these people they remind me about it. Today my mother asked me to do it for her. Never have I had so much success!

This dish has the best flavor! It is pretty spicy, but soooo good. I also add bite-size chicken pieces for people who don\'t like shrimp, works great!
