I have this as a clipping from 1993, marked "Outstanding" and "made with shrimp." A good tip from the text is to soak the barley in twice its amount of water for five hours then cook in a ratio of 3 C water to 1 C barley. MAYBE you could ASSEMBLE the recipe in 15 minutes if everything is cooked, cooled, chopped, etc. But otherwise it's a good 90 minutes, including cooling time. And worth every minute.
