For what it's worth, when me and few of my siblings made this, a number of them made their own separate pan of soup without meat because they didn't like shrimp. The shrimp come right at the end with the milk anyways, after the soup's already been stewing for at least 15 minutes, so they aren't that integral to the flavor.
