One more thing - This recipe says "shake the pan" while cooking the shrimp. The original recipe on the restaurant's site said to move the pan in a circular motion like your mom did when making stovetop popcorn! Johnny even included a quaint admonition to circle the pan clockwise or counterclockwise depending on whether the moon was waxing or waning (I could never remember which but it seems to turn out the same).

This is just as the recipe was originally posted on Criolla's web site when the restaurant was still open. It contains one error - the POUND of butter is obviously too much. I have found that a STICK of butter is about right for the recipe amounts. I almost never have to add water or stock to make it come out the right consistency since the shrimp usually adds some liquid of its own. Difficulty rating should be "simple"! Life is not quite the same since Criolla's closed though!
