I had some trouble finding chayote, so I used jicama instead. It worked out well, and the salad was still very refreshing.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think next time I'll add more spices to the cornmeal crust and the sauce.

The shrimp were a bit overcooked, but the sauce was delicious. I'll definitely try this recipe again, but I'll be more careful not to overcook the shrimp.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use less cayenne pepper in the sauce.

The chayote salad was a nice touch, and it helped to balance out the richness of the shrimp and sauce. I also appreciated that the recipe included a make-ahead option for the sauce, which saved me time on the day I cooked the dish.

I was pleasantly surprised by how well the cornmeal crust held up during frying. The shrimp stayed crispy and juicy, and the crust added a nice crunch. The sauce was also very good, with just the right amount of heat.
