This is the best shrimp recipe I've ever tried! The sauce is so flavorful and the shrimp are cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making this again and again.

I'm allergic to shrimp, so I made this dish with chicken instead. It was still very good!

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my sauce turned out really watery. The shrimp were still good, though.

I'm not a huge fan of spicy food, but this dish was surprisingly mild. The sauce had a nice tangy flavor and the shrimp were cooked perfectly.

This recipe was a disaster! The shrimp were overcooked and the sauce was bland. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

The sauce was a bit too thick for my liking, but the shrimp were cooked perfectly. I would recommend thinning out the sauce with a little bit of water or broth next time.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less chipotle pepper if you don't like spicy food.

The shrimp were amazing! So tender and juicy. The sauce was a perfect blend of spicy and tangy. I served it over rice and it was a delicious meal.
