I love this dish and have made it many times. I also add anchovy paste as a substitute, use 1/2 the water and add the shrimp at the last moment.

Great flavor! I left out the water and only added as needed after reading other reviews. I would make this recipe again. I am going to try tp double and make it for a party I have coming up. More to follow...
