This was pretty good as is. But made it a second time with celery, poblano subbed for the green and red peppers and garlic but no zucchini. Then tossed in some roasted corn and used leftover crawfish meat from a boil with some shrimp. Used heavy cream to thicken and really tie it all together. Chopped up some seasoned boiled potatoes for the hubs, threw them in till warmed, served over rice topped with chopped green onions, fresh tomatoes. So this is a great way to use up crawfish boil leftovers, if you have any!
Amazing! I forgot to add the red pepper, but did put the green in. Added a can of diced tomatoes when I realized it was too later to add the peppers. Served over white rice. AMAZING!
Tasty but as other reviewers mentioned the half and half doesn’t thicken at all by this method and my meal felt a little soupy. Probably does need to be more like a flour roux, but I am no expert on what this dish should be like.
This was a great way to put a dent into some fresh corn! We served it on rice but I had it without rice and loved it . Lots of substitutions to use what I had on hand. The list is below. The kids loved it too!Substitutions: tomatoes instead of zucchini, 1tsp Arizona Dreaming + 3tsp Forward + 1/2-1 tsp Spanish style smoked Paprika instead of 4 tsp Cajun seasoning, yellow instead of red pepper, onion instead of shallot.
Husband and I really liked it, and it was good over brown rice. I wasn’t sure about adding the cajun seasoning in the veggies so I left that out but, of course, I used it on the shrimp and it was fantastic. It’s a definate do-over and will also try adding black or red beans one day.
OMGosh! We can’t believe we’ve never heard of this until now! We used fresh corn, cut off the cob, and we scraped the cobs for the corn milk. We also added frozen mussels, which I added to the veggie mixture along with about a half cup of chardonnay and and turned it to low, covered, while I sauteed the shrimp to let the mussels steam in the wine. We used Tony Chachere’s Original Creole Seasoning. The only thing I would change is to eliminate the salt in the veggies. There was plenty in the Creole seasoning. Definitely a make-again!
Delicious and so fresh! Big hit with my family. Only alteration I made was to leave out shallot as I didn’t have on hand. Used fresh corn. Next time will make with more shrimp. Yummy!!
Great served over Spanish rice.
I made this dish without the zucchini and shallots. I used cayenne olive oil and it was delicious!!!!
This was quite good. I made it without zucchini and substituted andouille sausage for the shrimp (Mostly because we had it prepared that way at the Crab Trap in Destin, FL. A new favorite!
Husband really liked it and went for seconds. It was a little too spicy for me. We will make it again.
Amazing dish. I left out the shallots, so increased the amount of green onion. I left this dish without rice, and it was amazing. Many reviews say this is too spicy, but that seems easily changed by the amount of creole seasoning put in. I also agree with another review, and put the half and half in earlier than the recipe says.
Soooo amazing! Have loved this since I first discovered it…this time I swapped the zucchini for tofu, and the shrimp for lobster. FANTASTIC!
I had high expectations for this dish, but it just didn’t quite do it for me. It was too spicy for me- and I;m not sure what the purpose of the half-and-half was. It just made it watery. Sorry, I won’t be making this one again.
I REALLY enjoyed this meal, as did my family. I used all red pepper as I am not a green pepper fan. It was still flavorful and had the green zucchini to make it a beautifully colorful dish. I thought it was especially well suited for Spring – fresh tasting and delicious!
This recipe isn’t a true roux, IMHO, because the half and half is added too late in the recipe for it to thicken, and next time I would leave it out. This tasted really fresh and delicious and would be great over rice or couscous.
This was delicious. I did make a couple small changes. I mix my own Creole seasoning so I can adjust the heat to our taste and I didn’t have zucchini on hand like I thought I did so I just chopped some fresh pea pods and added them for color. Loved the simplicity and it was bursting with flavor!
This is so delicious and so easy. What a great summer meal.
While my dad and Mr. LTH enjoyed this, I wasn’t as a big of a fan. It was OK, just nothing I’ll make again.
I followed the recipe exactly and thought it was too spicy. I would cut back on the Cajun spice if I was to make again. It made for a nice light meal.
