- Add shrimp.
- Shrimp will cook very quickly, within 5 minutes -- Shrimp will appear nice and pink.
- I usually let it slowly simmer 15 minutes or so to let the flavor get through it.
- This is also a great make - ahead and freeze dish. It only gets better the longer it sits.
- We serve it over rice or with crackers and a side salad.

<p>My name is Candy, married in 1993 to Tom. We have two kids (ages 13 and 11) and live in Austin, TX. Most of the cooking is done by Tom these days and he loves to play around and experiment with food. I own a bookkeeping business from a home office and Tom is a teacher so we stay busy and are always on the look out for something fun, fast and healthy.<br /> <br />View my all about me website for links and other information about us - <a href=http://www.candybeauchamp.com>HERE</a>. <br /> <br />We both absolutely love to read! Our kids are turning into little bookworms too :) We are all Kindle addicts and read a lot, my husband and I easily read 200 books per year between the two of us.</p>
