This smelled absolutely like a piece of heaven while it was cooking. Followed the recipe except I only used one pound of shrimp and I omitted the optional pepper and instead of recaito I had to improvise and use green taco sauce by Ortega for the shrimp. I don't like creoles very much, but yours was as good as any I have tried. Thanks for posting tunamanphd! Made for Fall 2011 PAC
