This dish is a great way to use up leftover shrimp. I usually make it with shrimp that I've grilled or roasted.

I've tried this recipe several times and I can never get the sauce to come out right. It always ends up being too thin or too thick.

I thought this dish was just okay. The sauce was a little bland and the shrimp were a bit overcooked.

This dish was a little too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I used a different type of chili pepper than the recipe called for.

I'm not a huge fan of shrimp, but this dish changed my mind. The green sauce was so good that I could have eaten it on its own.
