Cook, stirring frequently, and when the mixture starts to stick, add the juices and the fish sauce. Cook for 5 minutes over high heat until the liquid barely covers the bottom of the pan. Add the chicken stock, cover and bring to a full boil. Add the shrimp and parsley, return to a full, rolling boil, and remove from the heat.
