I bought frozen cooked shrimp to make this, but considered them an optional ingredient until taste-testing. The I decided your sister had exactly the right idea. Also after taste testing, I added black pepper, fresh cilantro leaves, and a dash of fish sauce to bring out the flavor of the shrimp. I used asparagus instead of green beans. I did use the vermicelli, but I think you could use cooked rice.
