This is a very tasty recipe. But I had the Shrimpin' Dippin' Broth at Bubba Gumps Shrimp Co. and this recipe still wasn't quite what I had had there. So, I added soy sauce just before serving. The soy sauce made the broth more like the dark, rich, salty broth that I had tasted in the restaurant. Try it - it's terrific!
