This is a quick recipe and a keeper. I put in zucchini instead of the broccoli. Next time I will add more vegetables to it.

I have made this recipe several times now. Not only quick but, light and fresh. I have used shrimp and vegetable broth which is very good too.

My husband and I love this recipe- smells so good cooking, and tastes like something you'd order in a restaurant.
