This recipe is a bit time-consuming, but it's worth it. The shrimp were so tender and the sauce was amazing.

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

Delicious! I added a little bit of chili sauce to give it a bit of a kick.

Not bad, but not great either. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the shrimp were overcooked. I would recommend cooking them for a shorter amount of time.

The shrimp turned out great! The sauce was a little too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved it.
