4. Add shrimp and cover for another 5-10 minutes (or until shrimp are cooked).

*Note: when I made this, the can of fire roasted tomatoes made it more runny, if you want it thicker, I suggest draining some of the juice prior to adding it to the skillet.

    My only suggestion would be to drain the fire roasted tomatoes so it is a little thicker - 12/17/12
