This recipe was a waste of time and ingredients. The sauce was watery and the shrimp were tough.

I was disappointed with this dish. The shrimp were overcooked and the sauce was bland. I won't be making this again.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less red pepper flakes next time.

I used angel hair pasta instead of spaghetti and it turned out great. The sauce was light and flavorful, and the shrimp were cooked perfectly.
