Definitely a keeper.

Both my husband and I really liked this recipe and it was deemed a "keeper". I served it over Hawaiian Black Rice with a pear slice.
It is of restaurant caliber on taste and aroma. The rice used has a crunch to it, so all in all, it was a very satisfying meal.
I would recommend trying this out if you like shrimp. It has a little bit of acidic undertone from the fresh grape tomatoes, but not overwhelmingly tomato-y. I almost added white wine, but glad I did not as the shrimp and broth married well with the bit of acid in the tomatoes and made a lovely sauce.
Definitely will make this again and would not change a thing other than the above mentioned.
