    I found that this was very good. A little dry but I drained the stewed tomatos. It would have been better with the stewed tomatoes like they come. My fault but family loved it and have already asked to have it again. - 6/5/17

    this is great. I can my own stewed tomatoes so I just had to add the shrimp and spices. I served over brown rice and everyone was happy - 1/3/12

    This was excellent, although we tweaked the recipe because we didn't have all the ingredients. Italian sausage and chicken instead of shrimp, and added hot sauce and Arizona Seasoning salt free blend (Penzeys' Spices). Thoroughly enjoyed the meal!!! - 3/3/11

    This is a good recipe and we liked it but will make a few changes since I have problems with spicy foods. Will make it again. - 1/15/10

    Hubby loved this and so did I. I used one can of no salt diced tomatoes, 1 can of RoTel Hot Diced Tomatoes with Habaneros, 8 oz. no salt tomato sauce, & increased the cayenne pepper to 1/2 tsp cause we like extra spicy. Also used 28 oz cooked shrimp vs l lb so we would have lots of yummy leftovers - 11/20/09

    My husband even enjoyed it which is nice since he feels like he hasnt been getting as hardy of meals since I have been focused on slimming down. I added a little more cayenne pepper because we love spicy food. - 1/25/08
