    Very tasty. I made it for my boyfriend and he loved it. I also added scallops and sun-dried tomatoes. He really liked the Old Bay seasoning I used for the cajun spice. Quick to make low cal. Yummy sums it up. - 3/11/11

    I would recommend putting only half of the seasoning in it. It was way too much. - 10/13/10

    I didn't use the shrimp but added mushrooms and steamed broccoli. It was great! A new favorite. :) - 9/17/10
