I added fresh mushrooms, sugar snap peas, and sliced green onions to the vegetables. Too sweet for me, I would leave out the brown sugar next time.

This was terrible! Followed the recipe exactly and it taste like salty orange juice. I'd give it zero stars but if you rate zero it doesn't factor into the ratings. In fact two other reviewers gave it zero but they didn't get calculated in, which is how I got duped into thinking this was a five star recipe. Just awful! Do yourself a favor and make something else with your shrimp.
