This dish was a disaster. The shrimp were mushy and the pasta was overcooked.

I followed the recipe exactly and the dish turned out great. The only thing I would change is to add a bit more garlic next time.

This dish was a hit with my family! The shrimp were cooked perfectly and the pasta was al dente. The sauce was flavorful and had just the right amount of spice. I will definitely be making this again.
