Both the hubby and I thought this was good...but the cumin was very overpowering...that's was the only flavor we tasted...because we enjoy the taste of shrimp we were a bit disappointed that it was on the back burner...the directions say to pour the mixture over the shrimp...there was nothing to pour...it was a paste after mixing all the ingredients together...even though this wasn't to our liking it was a pleasure to make...Made for "FYC" tag game...
