I enjoyed this. It was simple to make and had good, although not overpowering, lime flavor. I didn't use fresh lime, but I think that would've made it taste 'cleaner'. I did have an issue with the sauce being too thin for my liking, but I didn't quite have enough cornstarch and had to sub in flour so that may have been the cause.
