Shrimp Etouffee Serves

Basically recipe is good, BUT, needs some fine chopped bell peppers, I used approx. 1/2 cup, needs 1/2 can or so of water...without it etouffee is to thick, needs about 3/4 to 1 tsp. of Crab Boil. Finally needs bit more cooking then the 20 min's. they call for. I cooked about 35-40 min's. as I used jumbo shrimp. Other then these few things I found the recipe almost true "Cajun".
