This recipe tasted great! I used xylitol instead of sugar to keep it clean too, just like the other reviewer. I also used more shrimp than it called for and the spices were plenty. It was quick and easy. Perfect if you're busy and on the run!

I hate to be the one person who doesn't like a recipe, but it just didn't do it for me. I only had half pound of shrimp and the spices smelled amazing, but the final product just didn't taste amazing. (mainly this is so if i read the reviews i'll know not to make it for me again!)
