So-so. If I ever make it again, I will serve it over brown and wild rice.

Have already made it several times! Very good! I add a little bit more creole seasoning, but very yummy!

Don't shy away from this recipe, it's one of the best. This restaurant quality dinner is sure to please. Way to go Taste of Home test kitchen. I did not change an ingredient and discovered a new trick, if I slightly freeze the shirmp...they peel and clean much faster and easier.
