Sure. I use Paula Deen's recipe with modifications. I have trouble strictly sticking to a recipe.
I replace the water with 1/2 clam juice and 1/2 chicken stock. I also add a little sugar, Old Bay seasoning, and minced up bacon. Sometimes I throw in a little white wine. I have also used some Duck Commander Cajun Seasoning in it as well, but once I realized it had a MSG in it, I stopped. It is much better to replace the canned stuff and dried herbs with fresh, but this is so much quicker.
