This is spot on. The steam from the food cooks everything well. Shrimp can get overcooked, so you have to kind of strike a balance between the shrimp coming out OK, and the veggies cooking thoroughly. That's why the big shrimp are needed, they take a little longer to cook than the little ones. Also if you cut up the potatoes and the veggies into smaller pieces (don't dice them, but no big chunks) they'll cook more evenly.
