Not a fan. The Madeira sauce was too sweet, and the seafood was undercooked. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

This recipe was a disaster! The Madeira sauce curdled, and the seafood was rubbery. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

Not bad, but not amazing either. The Madeira sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste, and the seafood was slightly overcooked.
