This recipe was easy to follow and the shrimp turned out great. The sauce was a little too spicy for my taste, but that's just a personal preference. I would definitely make this recipe again.

This recipe was just okay. The shrimp were cooked well, but the sauce was a little too salty for my taste. I would make this recipe again, but I would adjust the amount of salt in the sauce.
