 "Save the shrimp shells to make stock! I freeze 'em. Nice to use the trinity! Followed the recipe as written, except added bay leaves shortly after the tomatoes. Enjoyed the zip from the red pepper flakes. Definitely a keeper!" - Tikimom1

    Great base recipe!Very easy to adjust to your liking.I recommend pre seasoning the shrimp with salt and pepper before adding them to the stew.also maybe adding a little more herbs than listed.Also a little extra pepper flake.

    I cooked this for my boyfriend and he loved it. I used tomato paste and added water and also used crushed chillies for a bit of spice. Yummy

    What's not to like with this easy recipie? I threw in some okra, beans and broccoli and a bit of red wine. Tasty and healthy. Family devoured it and the corn bread I made to go with.
