Although this was really good I was hoping to have the broth break down some more. Next I will add the spinach and tomatoes to the shrimp when cooking to pick up more of those flavors and maybe add some broccoli. I will have this again many more times. Yum!!

Just made this. Sooo good. Would never know it was a "healthy" version. Sisn't have spinach, so left it out. Otherwise, pretty much followed the recipe. Oh, used about five garlic cloves, as we love it. I will be making this often.
