I made this last night using shrimp, green beans, and mushrooms. Fantastic. I had to add considerably more than 1 cup of water though. I think this may have been because the flour mix I used has a lot of corn starch in it. I plan to make this for dinner with some non-GF friends. I don't think they will be able to tell the difference. Thanks **Jubes**!
