I had saved shells from shrimp to be sauteed later. So I started with step 2, and added about 6 cups of water instead of shrimp cooking liquid in step 4. It was great for our shrimp/asparagus/mushroom risotto.
Curious - why only 6 c water instead of 8? To compensate for the lack of flavor in the water?
