I didn't have any brown rice, so I used white rice instead. It still turned out great!

This recipe is a bit too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less chili powder next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but the shrimp was a bit overcooked. I think I'll cook it for less time next time.
