For the very first time I made this dish, this is the recipe I used. <br/><br/>Subsequently I tried looking for a different recipe but kept coming back to this one because it's probably the easiest. <br/><br/>I have made this three times now, and my family has fallen into this home-made version.<br/><br/>I don't use as much shrimps nor chili as the recipe calls for, but the flavor is still very good. <br/><br/>For it's simplicity both in the making and the flavoring and presentation, this has become a regular potluck dish for us.<br/><br/>Give it a try and enjoy!
