Easy to follow recipe. Made some minor substitutions . However, I had a concern about the shrimp. Even cooking them a bit before adding them per the recipe, they never turned pink. They did curl up quite a bit, so I know they were eventually cooked, thanks to Google.  Id pre-cook the until pink first before adding them next time.
