Not a fan. The sauce was bland and the shrimp were overcooked. I would not make this again. 2 stars.

The saffron sauce was a bit too salty for my taste, but other than that, this dish was delicious. The shrimp were cooked perfectly, and the pasta was al dente. I would definitely make this again, but I would reduce the amount of salt in the sauce. 4
