The shrimp were a bit overcooked, but the cilantro aioli was delicious! I'll definitely be making the aioli again, but I'll try cooking the shrimp for a shorter amount of time next time.

Overall, this dish was good, but not great. The shrimp were cooked well, but the cilantro aioli was a bit too strong for my taste. I think I would have enjoyed it more if the aioli had been a bit more subtle.

This recipe was a miss for me. The shrimp were overcooked and the cilantro aioli was bland. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
