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

The shrimp were a bit overcooked, but the sauce was delicious. I'll definitely try this recipe again, but I'll be more careful not to overcook the shrimp.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover shrimp. I added some chopped vegetables to the sauce and it was a delicious and healthy meal.

I followed the recipe exactly and the shrimp turned out perfectly. The sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste, but that's easily remedied by adding less sugar.
