Peppery Shrimp and Rice image

"This recipe has evolved over the years to satisfy my husband's yearning for shrimp over rice, which he enjoyed while growing up in Louisiana," writes Cynthia Schaible Boyll of Loveland, Ohio. Chili sauce and red pepper flakes give a Cajun kick to this pretty, palatable dish.

This dish was a disaster! The shrimp were overcooked and the sauce was too spicy. The rice was also undercooked.

I found this dish to be a bit bland. The shrimp were cooked well, but the sauce lacked flavor. The rice was also a bit dry.

This dish was easy to make and tasted great! I used frozen shrimp, and they cooked perfectly in the sauce. The sauce was flavorful and spicy, and the rice was cooked well. I will definitely be making this dish again.
