This recipe was a complete disaster! The shrimp were overcooked and rubbery, and the sauce was way too salty. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add more garlic and lemon next time.

The shrimp were a bit overcooked, but the sauce was still good. I think I would cook the shrimp for a shorter amount of time next time.

This recipe was a bit too tangy for my taste, but it was still good. I think I would use less lemon next time.
