I made it for my book club, and everyone raved about it. One member brought rice with cashews and mango, and it was an excellent accompaniment, alongside or in it. I made a double recipe, and it took quite a bit longer than stated for the mushrooms to soften, the shrimp to turn color, and the “soup” to warm up.
