I'm not sure what went wrong, but my shrimp turned out rubbery. I think I might have overcooked them.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I'm not a very experienced cook, so I think I'll stick to simpler recipes.

This recipe was a disappointment. The shrimp were overcooked and the sauce was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't turn out well.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. He said it was the best shrimp dish he's ever had. I'll definitely be making it again, but I'll use less cayenne pepper next time.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover shrimp. I had some cooked shrimp in the fridge and this was the perfect way to use them up. The sauce was flavorful and the shrimp were cooked perfectly.

So easy and delicious! I made this for a weeknight meal and it was a breeze to prepare. The shrimp cooked quickly and the sauce came together in no time. I will definitely be making this again.
