I loved how easy this was to throw in the slow-cooker, but I didn't think it had a ton of flavor...and I even added some Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning. I also left out the tapioca because I didn't know what that was for and it sounded weird.

I will say the next day this was MUCH more flavorful!

I made this yesterday and it was delicious. I used raw, shelled shrimp and put it in the crockpot with the other other ingredients. I also made the rice separately as my husband likes it on the side better
