Nice basic recipe, and very useful as a base for experimenting. I just wanted to add that shrimp should not cook for 4-5 minutes, that's way too long, and you may end up with a chewy and rubbery result. A minute and then let it finish while serving is more than enough to give it the white color it needs.

Marinating shrimp for a couple of hours in white wine, chili, garlic, sugar and parsley really added to the taste of the shrimp, by the way.

Made this last night and it was soooo good. I plan to change it up some so I don't have a high amount of sodium in it. I also added spinach when I added the shrimp.
