This recipe was too spicy for me. I'll have to reduce the amount of chili pepper next time.

I found this recipe to be a little bland. I added some extra spices and it was much better.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my shrimp turned out a little dry. The sauce was good though.

I'm not a huge fan of seafood, but I really enjoyed this dish. The shrimp were tender and juicy, and the sauce was delicious. I'll definitely be making this again.

This recipe was a hit! The shrimp were perfectly cooked and the sauce was flavorful and aromatic. I served it with couscous and a side of roasted vegetables.
