This dish was a bit bland. The sauce lacked flavor and the shrimp were not very flavorful either. I think I would have added more spices and herbs to the sauce to give it more flavor.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. The sauce was very heavy and the shrimp were a bit overcooked. I think I would have preferred a lighter sauce and shrimp that were cooked a little less.
