I'm not sure what went wrong, but this dish was a disaster.

This recipe was a total flop. The shrimp were overcooked, and the sauce was bland.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste, but it was still good. I think I would have liked it better with a lighter sauce.

I'm not a huge fan of seafood, but this dish was amazing! The shrimp were cooked perfectly, and the sauce was flavorful without being overpowering.

This shrimp scampi with green onions and orzo was a hit! The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the orzo cooked up just right. I'll definitely be making this again.
