This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The broth was very flavorful and the seafood was cooked perfectly. I would recommend using less chili peppers if you don't like spicy food.

This dish was okay, but I've had better. The broth was a bit too salty for my taste, and the seafood was a bit tough. I would not recommend this recipe.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. The broth was not very flavorful and the seafood was a bit overcooked. I would recommend adding more spices and herbs to the broth, and cooking the seafood for a shorter amount of time.
