Frequently Asked Questions

Can I substitute chourico sausage with another type of sausage?

Yes, you can substitute chourico sausage with other types of sausage such as kielbasa, spicy Italian sausage, or Andouille sausage for a different flavor profile.

How should I store leftover shrimp soup?

Store leftover shrimp soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months. Reheat gently before serving.

What should I do if my shrimp are overcooked and rubbery?

To avoid overcooking shrimp, make sure to add them in the last 15 minutes of cooking, as shrimp cook quickly. If they are overcooked, soak them in a bit of hot broth or sauce for a few minutes, which may help improve their texture.

I made this but cooked it on the stove top. I also put in sliced garlic instead of minced. This was delicious with some hot, crusty bread. Easy to make.

It is really good Barry, if you don't have a crock pot, you can do it on stove top as well.
