My husband gobbled this up and went back for seconds. I loved all of the fresh veggies, although they took some time to prep. I followed the recipe except that I used precooked shrimp, so I skipped the last half of step 2 and added the shrimp to the pan with the cooked egg at the end of step 3. My husband's only complaint about the dish was that the shrimp had no flavor, but maybe it was because they were precooked. I thought the shrimp flavor was fine.
