Super quick and easy! I used 2 cups(1can) of the broth instead of half broth & half water which I think made the rice more flavorful and I used Sriracha hot sauce as well.

Made this recipe tonight and did not enjoy it. The texture of the rice was very strange to me. The flavors were okay, but I've had better dishes. Not one of my favorites at all. Really disliked this meal.

Quick & easy; biggest job was cleaning the thawed shrimp -- everything else was a snap. Made to recipe using Sriracha for the hot sauce, so this added some depth I think.

This was good and very easy - good weeknight meal. It did not take 40 minutes to prepare. I had it on the table in 25 minutes! Good mix of flavors. I had to use sugar snap peas since I could not find snow peas - which was just as good. I would like to try it with brown rice to see how it would taste and make it just a little more healthy.
