I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but this dish was surprisingly mild. The shrimp were tender and the sauce was flavorful without being too hot.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The shrimp were a bit dry and the sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I think I'll stick to simpler shrimp dishes in the future.

Overall, I thought this recipe was pretty good. The shrimp were cooked well and the sauce had a nice flavor. I would have liked it to be a bit spicier though.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish didn't turn out anything like the picture. The shrimp were tough and the sauce was watery.

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

The sauce was a bit too spicy for my taste, but the shrimp were delicious. I'll try it again with less chili next time.
