I'm not a fan of the sugar cane in this dish. I think it's a bit too sweet.

This recipe is a bit too bland for my taste. I think it needs more spices.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my shrimp mousse turned out rubbery. I think I overcooked it.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover shrimp. I had some shrimp that was about to go bad, and this recipe was the perfect way to use it up.

This dish was easy to make and turned out great! The shrimp mousse was creamy and the sugar cane added a nice crunch. I served it with a dipping sauce and it was a big hit.
