This recipe was a disaster! The zucchini and shrimp were overcooked and the lemon sauce was too sour. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. The zucchini and shrimp were cooked well, but the lemon sauce needed more flavor. I would recommend adding some additional herbs or spices to the sauce.
