The shrimp were overcooked and the coconut rice was dry. I would not recommend this recipe.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra spices to the shrimp and the rice, and it turned out much better.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but the flavors were still very good. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper if you don't like spicy food.
