Unique flavor from the orange and fennel (which has an anise taste to it). I liked it. Although I started reducing the liquid down before adding the shrimp because there was a lot of liquid and I was afraid the shrimp would get overcooked so if you have a lot of liquid don't add the shrimp until it's reduced down a bit.
