I made this dish today. I was worried it may be a little too much tomato, but it was great! I will add this to a shrimp dish favorite.

Saw the show 12/26/11, at 11 CST. What a treat! I had left over shrimp, from Christmas. The grocery store is 12½ miles to town. So I shot from the hip. Hunts has spicy Diced Red Tomatoes. I can't believe I didn't have Tom. sauce, except my hubby cooks as much as I do but, didn't put it on the groc. list...HUM must talk to that boy. Did use the Worcestershire & sugar. It as really good...but how da ya all serve 8? Most respectfully submitted !!! We are both watchers. But can't fnd your new cookbook anywhere near. Please advise.Have a special 2012!!

Sweet Paula Deen your shrimp creole is very much like a blue crab dish that my Grand mother started. But she cooked her sauce all day long until it was nice and thick and then she would start dumping cleaned blue crab bodies in it until they were done then served with cuban bread and butter. It is to die for.. But you leave your manners at the door cause theres a lot of slurping going on. LOL Don't know if you'll ever see this I know your a busy woman!! And a loved one!! MERRY CHRISTMAS SWEET LADY.

Very good! My creole did not look like it does in the picture.. I am not sure where the orange color in the picture comes from. Mine looked more like a salsa. Regardless, it was very good. I added a little bit of Cayenne for an extra kick. Easy recipe, will definitely make again ![]()

I tried this recipe once and am going to make it again tonight. The first time, my husband was a little disappointed and thought it needed something else. So, I took the leftovers and cooked some smoked sausage and added it. That was just what it needed, and I am going to do that with it again tonight. Very yummy.

This was the first Paula Deen recipe I ever tried out and my entire family loved it. Super easy and quick to put together.

I am making this for the second time right now. We watched Paula make it a couple of weeks ago on TV and my husband said that he would like to try to make it. The only thing I needed to get was the shrimp and green peppers and we had a batch going within 15 minutes. It was incredible. I too double the recipe and when my tomatoes come in this summer I am going to can several quarts of this minus the shrimp for really quick dinners. Paula rocks and she's made me enjoy cooking again.

This is a great recipie.... I make a double batch of the sauce (on the stove)and freeze in 2 serving batches. Then I can come home from work, heat up the sauce, saute' shrimp and flounder, and serve with grits. Fabulous and so easy. Thansk Paula

I love Paula Deen. This was so delicious. What I loved most about it was that I didn't have to go all over town to look for the ingredients. I had them in my spice cabinet. That's what's so great about Paula. Try it you'll love it.

This recipe is the best by far. Made it one week and within another week, the husband was requesting it again. Delicious!!
