This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I was able to adjust it by using less chili powder. The shrimp were cooked perfectly and the sauce was flavorful. I served it over rice and it was a great meal. I will definitely be making this again.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The shrimp were a bit overcooked and the sauce was a bit too oily. I think I would try a different recipe next time.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra lemon juice and garlic and it was much better. I also served it over rice instead of pasta, which I think helped to soak up the sauce better.

I've made this recipe several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The shrimp are always cooked perfectly and the sauce is so good that I could drink it. I usually serve it over pasta, but it would also be great with rice or vegetables.
