I'm not a big fan of cilantro, so I substituted parsley instead. It turned out great!

Overall, this was a good recipe. The shrimp was cooked well and the sauce was flavorful. However, I think it could have been better with some additional spices.

The sauce was a little too spicy for my taste, but I was able to tone it down by adding some yogurt.

I followed the recipe exactly and the shrimp turned out a little overcooked. I think I'll reduce the cooking time next time.
