    "STICK TO MEASUREMENTS. I kind of eyeballed it and the lemon juice kind of overpowered all other flavors. Other than that it was really good. Also use RAW UNCOOKED shrimp."

    "I sautéed some mushrooms in butter and garlic first, then added them in at the end. I used 3 very large garlic cloves and a bit less red pepper flakes than in the recipe. It was nicely spicy. Next time I’ll add more lemon and concentrate it a little more. Really good over angel hair pasta!"

    "I did 2 tablespoons of butter and lemon juice and it was plenty of sauce. Also took the shrimp out early to let the sauce reduce without over cooking and then added them back in at the end. Highly recommend."

    "Add more garlic for more flavor, I would use natural lime instead of lemon juice next time. Nonetheless- it was delicious 😋"
