Fantastic! I didn’t have mirin on hand, so skipped that ingredient, but otherwise made as advised. We added avocado to our finished tacos. Absolutely delicious!!

This is awesome! Used one pound of shrimp. Added avocado to tacos, used green angel hair cabbage. The sauce is great! Will make this often.
