I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish didn't turn out as good as the pictures. The shrimp was dry and the rice was mushy.

I was disappointed with this dish. The shrimp was overcooked and the rice was bland.

This dish was a little too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. I think I'll use less chili powder next time.

I'm not a huge fan of avocado, but I loved this dish. The lime and cilantro really balanced out the flavor of the avocado.
