I tweaked it quite a bit and I'm glad I did since it would lack flavor the way it is. I only had broccoli on hand, so I sauteed that with the onion and garlic. I took the shrimp and sauteed it with some soy sauce and ginger, along with a can of pineapple. Not bad, needs more tweaking to add flavor. - 12/15/13
