"Budget friendly meal! You can omit the shrimp and add feta cheese to reduce the cost even more. :) If you don't like capers, sub chopped kalamata olives to add the salty taste."

I scaled back for 1 serve and did add more onion and zucchini than stated and as we have a glut of cherry tomatoes I quartered the amount stated and used a little extra stock for the juice that would have come from the can and it made for a super delicious and quick dinner which I really enjoyed, thank you breezermom made for Pick Me tag game.

Made as directed without the basil for a very good dinner. I used 2 zucchini, so maybe a bit more than suggested and two cans of tomatoes -- so a bit more than suggested but skipped the chicken broth. Very good and enjoyed by all. Thanks for sharing!
