I tried this recipe and it was a complete disaster. The shrimp were rubbery and the sauce was curdled. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This was the worst Cuban shrimp stew I have ever had. The shrimp were overcooked and the sauce was watery and flavorless. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. The shrimp were cooked well, but the sauce lacked flavor. I would recommend adding more spices or herbs to the recipe.
