“Never cook shrimp shells for more than 10min. The flavor will be lost as the compounds that give the shrimp flavor break down. Add the shrimp shells for the last 10min. You will get a MUCH stronger and better shrimp flavor.” — a cook, 3★
“I loved it, my family loved it. I just cooked pretty much exactly like the recipe said. I just made a really dark roux and kept it thick. Amazing.” — a cook, 5★
