"This was a nice change for our family menu, and easy! I used two bags of shrimp-extra small, but kept the rest of the recipe the same. Cooked up some frozen perogies, and we were set!"

"This was quick & yummy. I only had regular tomato sauce so added some basil ad oregano to make it "Italian." Also added another additional can of diced tomatoes to make it thinner so it would soak into the rice."
