I followed the recipe exactly and the shrimp turned out overcooked. I think I'll reduce the cooking time next time.

This recipe was a bit more work than I expected, but it was worth it. The shrimp were plump and juicy and the sauce was delicious.

I'm not a big fan of seafood, but I actually really liked this dish. The shrimp were cooked perfectly and the sauce was very flavorful.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think I'll try it again with less chili next time.

Not bad, but not great either. The shrimp were a bit bland and the sauce was a bit too thick. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

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

The shrimp were a bit overcooked, but the sauce was still delicious. I'd recommend reducing the cooking time by a minute or two next time.
