This is a good and easy recipe. The only shrimp I had were the jumbo ones so I cut them in half. It turned out just fine. I think next time I make it I might add some sausage just to add a little something. It seems like a recipe that would be easy to change things here and there to give it some variety. Try it!

It was very good. The only change I made was that I used beef broth because I did't have vegetable broth and it still came out good. I think it was more than 6 servings. Ther was a lot leftover.

The creole seasoning and the cayenne pepper are right on. Any more and you would not be able to taste the other abundant flavors . Not sure on the uncooked long grain rice. After 45 minutes it still wasn't tender. Next time try the instant long grain rice.
