This recipe was a little too bland for my taste. I added some extra spices to the charmoula sauce and it was much better.

This recipe was a little too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I'll try it again with less harissa.

The shrimp were a little overcooked, but the sauce was delicious. I'll try it again and cook the shrimp for less time.

This dish was easy to make and very tasty. I used a store-bought charmoula sauce, but I think it would be even better if I made my own.
