This dish has a very nice flavour. The next time however, I'll cook the shrimp mixture first before starting the rice. My rice was completely cooked before the shrimp. Maybe the shrip I used were larger thus requiring longer cooking time. However...this certainly didn't affect the outcome of the dish. It was slightly creamy, almost like a risotto. I will add more salt next time. Thanks Einas for a wonderful supper.
