This dish is a compilation of two Creole recipes that I found in my mother's New Orleans cookbooks. The bacon adds flavor and the cayenne gives it a bit of spice. -Jan Tucker of Virginia Beach, Virginia

I'm not a fan of shrimp, but I loved this dish! The Creole sauce was so flavorful and the bacon added a nice smoky flavor. I will definitely be making this again.

This dish was a little too salty for my taste, but it was still good. I'll definitely be making it again, but I'll use less salt next time.

Followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great. Nice bold flavor using the Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning.

This recipe was a disappointment. The shrimp was overcooked and the sauce was bland. I would not recommend this recipe.
