I followed the recipe as written, and it seems like it's missing something, the spice level was perfect, but the overall flavor was bland to me...

Easy and Delicious

This is so easy and absolutely delicious!  I serve it with a simple but slightly spicy cucumber salad and everyone loves it.

OMG! made this tonight because I had everything in the pantry and didn't feel like cooking and my husband and I ate *way* more than we should. I felt like taking the sauce and just drinking it by itself. No changes to the recipe other than using microwave rice. This is a keeper and will happily serve to company.

I really like this recipe. Did not expect much but thought I would give it a try and it was quite tasty. I made it exactly as written. I would definitely serve it to company - those who like spicy and shrimp.
