This was amazing and pretty easy too. I did not have any raw shrimp on hand so during the last 1 minute instead of five, I threw in some frozen, pre-cooked shrimp. It was just fine. Also I forgot the bay leaves but it still had plenty of flavor without them! I will be making this one over and over again.

This went together really easily. I made it for our "Christmas casserole dinner" and it went over pretty good. I used already cooked shrimp and just stirred them in at the end (just enough to warm the up). I left the "heat factor" as written but you could very easily spice it up as much as you wanted.

<p>I've been cooking since I was a child and by the time I was 16 was shopping/planning and cooking for my family. I don't always get to cook each night and have many different palates to please but I try to cook something new each week.</p>
<p>I have an extremely committed vegetarian son so it's been fun lately to try to cook something new and healthy with him each week.</p>
<p>I would rather plan a dinner party than go out on the town!</p>
<p>I deal with difficult people all day long for work so I try to be as positive and upbeat as possible. :) :)</p>
