Tasty, added salt

Spaghetti al Limone with Lemon-Garlic Shrimp
Wished there was more lemon flavor. I thought I’d like the shrimp but I didn’t.

No flavor

Spaghetti al Limone with Lemon-Garlic Shrimp
I would prefer a thicker, possibly creamy sauce with this dish. The shrimp became tough and chewy when heated according to the Chef's instructions.

Martini-Style Chicken
The vegetables didn’t quite cook up and the sauce is very thin so I might take them out and cook them longer next time

Martini-Style Chicken
It was great last time, but this time it's just so greasy and oily. Not sure if it's my luck, might give another try to see

Spaghetti al Limone with Lemon-Garlic Shrimp
It wasn’t bad! I will say some noodles were overcooked and the sauce was a little runny. The flavor was there though and I think it’s a great summer dish.
