Yes, I have made it a number of times...
and Ellie, Yes... I sauté any onions, mushrooms, peppers or whatever first...
but the shrimp will cook on it's own in about 15 minutes (depending on the size of the shrimp, larger shrimp a bit more) from the heat in the rice...
BTW...
I remove the tails on the shrimp also before cooking...
