this wasnt quite "it" I too miss killer shrimp. melt the stick of butter in the cooking pot, chop 1/2 of a small white onion, mince the 5 cloves of garlic and sautee in the butter until fragrant. Add all spices in this recipe adding 1 tsp thyme 2 tbsp kosher salt (i used low sodim broth and it was not salty) and 1 tbsp red pepper flakes to the sautee. add all other ingredients but substitute 3 oz of tomato paste not 6 like this recipe implies , 16 oz of clam juice and add 1/2 a lemon sliced in half and put it in broth whole. One hour is all it takes. I crockpotted mine on high for 2 hours and it was like iI was back in the K.S. in redondo beach all over again
