Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavor: Many enjoyed the dish, though some found it spicier than expected; consider using only half the Tex-Mex paste for a milder taste.
  • Ease of prep: Quick to make, but some noted extra time needed to clean the shrimp thoroughly.
  • Suggestions: Add peas for extra greens, or try including cheese to complement the flavors.
  • Portions: Several reviewers wished for more shrimp in the recipe; consider adding extra if desired.
