 Hugh B. MacLeod (North Carolina) says:
What a great recipe. Followed it, almost, to the letter.

Used cod instead of shrimp. Added some pepper for flavor. Used clam juice as I had no other stock.

Cooked it as per the recipe and it was fantastic. Nothing like a simple, straight forward recipe, to make one feel like a good cook.

A great and simple recipe. Used crab meat, cod, and scallops. Made as per recipe and it came out great. Used clam juice.
When cooking the roux, I've learned, from many mistakes, to cook from low to high, increasing the burner temperature slowly.
I also use salted butter so I adjust additional salt to taste, which means I don't use much. I also added some ground black pepper (personal preference).
I also made the mistake of adding the paprika to the seafood instead of the sauce and it didn't affect anything.
A great recipe that we have shared with others.
