  1. Becker REVIEW:

    This is great, I made some changes though First I felt like 1 cup of beer was too much and made the sauce runny. I used about 1/4 cup. Second I used a can of diced tomatoes rather than a single tomato. Third, I added a tbls or 2 of corn starch to thicken the sauce. Forth like one poster said I put the sauce in Tupperware and kept it in the fridge for 12+ hours. Finally I warmed the sauce with some precooked shrimp, and added some cherry tomatoes near the end. My wife simply said WOW

  2. T REVIEW:

    This recipe was amazing. I didnt use the beer. I just used a whole cup of cream. Impressed the pants off my guest ;)

  3. johnpowers REVIEW:

    This recipe merely needs time to blend. Freshly prepared, it's just okay. The next day, it's to die for, and becomes a "5." Prepare everything the night before, and the next day finish by cooking the shrimp. I suspect that's the way they do it at Cajun House anyway, like most restaurants.
