I made this for the first time for dinner yesterday.  It was divine! There are only two of us, and neither a big eater.  At first I considered halving the recipe.  After your notes and those of other commenters, I decided to make the full recipe and freeze the remaining sauce.  I added the number of shrimp that we knew we would eat and cooked them in the simmering sauce.  I served it over rice.  I ate my bowl and went back for more of the rice and sauce, something I rarely do.  Needless to say, this is going into my regular rotation.  My husbans has requested scallops the next time.  Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe.  I am now off to look at someof your other recipes.

was super good.  I doubled the recipe and added Chicken andouille sausage.  Everyone enjoyed it and said it was really good.  Will Make again!

I followed the recipe to the letter using fresh gulf shrimp. A complete dud. Very little flavor . My advice - find another recipe.

I thoughts this was very good and simple to make.  I thought the seasoning measurements left it somewhat bland, so I pretty much doubled everything except bay leaves.  The combo of spices were spot on though. Next time I will add a tablespoon of tomato paste or use a bit more flour so the sauce would be a little thicker.  I'd recommend this recipe as a great base though.

This was so delicious! I pretty much stuck to the recipe but seasoned all components with Slap Ya Mama Cajun seasoning, omitted the hot sauce, and added some beef jalapeño sausage rounds after sautéing them. It was the perfect level of spice and I loved the consistency of the sauce. I’ve been making creole for a few years now but I love the choice of chicken broth and white wine as the base of the sauce. Thank you thank you thank you!

Absolutely Amazing!! I made this for dinner last night and it was delicious! Husband ate 2 big helpings and kept talking about how good it is! Needless to say, it's going into the rotation. I followed the recipe as written except I used only 1/4 tsp of cayenne, and I browned and added andouille sausage. I think the spiciness of the sausage made the heat just right. Also added about 1 Tbsp of tomato paste and about a Tbsp of brown sugar, to cut the acid from the tomatoes. It did not taste sweet though. My husband loves rice, so it surprised me when he wanted pasta instead of rice. I used Penne Rigate noodles. Everyone who said it is even better the next day, was right!! We had the leftovers for dinner again tonight. Very good! Next time I will make the sauce a day or 2 ahead, heat it back to a simmer and then add the shrimp, and serve over rice. Thank you SO much for posting this. I had never made creole before, although I had eaten it. My next recipe to try is gumbo. Do you or anyone else have a good recipe for that? Thanks!!

Excellent recipe, quick, easy to make everyone loved it!

My husband loved this dish and that’s a huge compliment.
