This dish was a little too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I used a hotter pepper than the recipe called for. Otherwise, it was a great dish and I would definitely make it again.

I love the simplicity of this dish. It's quick and easy to make, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I often add some grilled chicken or shrimp to make it a more complete meal.
