Helpful hints

To make the assembly of the meal easy and fast, get all the ingredients ready before you start cooking.
Frozen chopped onion and green pepper can be used in place of fresh vegetables.
Canned mushrooms are not a good choice due to high sodium content.
Adjust the red pepper flakes to your own tolerance for heat.
Do not overcook the shrimp, as it will be dry and tasteless.
