This recipe was a disaster. The shrimp were overcooked and the sauce was bland. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This recipe was easy to make and the shrimp were delicious. However, the sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would definitely make it again, but I would use less sugar next time.
