"I made this dish for supper tonight and I will agree with the previous 5 star rating. Since tomato was not listed in the ingredients, I had to make another run to the store, but it was worth the trip. I put in a 14.5 oz can of diced tomatos and used 2 tablespoons of butter. When it came time to add the shrimp, the mixture appeared to be a little dry, so I added another 1/3 cup of water. It came out just right." - boyleYield: 4 Ready in 45 minutes
