Healthy, because

Shrimp is packed with iodine, a trace element which helps support thyroid and metabolic health. 

This spaghetti can easily be prepared as vegetarian. Simply sauté diced tofu or mushroom slices instead of the seafood. If you'd like more spice then add more ginger and red pepper flakes.

The flavors do not work well at all. It is bland and boring. I am really disappointed and I wasted my food trying this recipe.

We are sorry to hear that the flavors didn't work out for you. We like to give everyone the option to add more spice (i.e. red pepper flakes in this recipe) to suit their own taste. Perhaps more peppers and ginger would make it tastier for you? Thank you for your feedback!
