Shrimp Dipping Broth

This is an excellent lunch or dinner entree based on the Bubba Gump Shrimp Company recipe. This is one of the most delicious recipes I've tasted. This recipe provides for lots of broth to sop up with your bread. It's VERY flavorful! Preparation time presumes that you have peeled and deveined shrimp. Rice is the usual side dish, but you may prefer another side that is not as filling. I find that I just enjoy the bread, broth and shrimp, and don't need much else!
