I'm a vegetarian, so I made this recipe with tofu instead of shrimp. It was delicious!

I'm allergic to shrimp, so I made this recipe with chicken instead. It was just as good!

I served the shrimp with a side of tartar sauce instead of melted butter.

I added some chopped parsley to the boiling water for extra flavor.

I didn't have any lemon wedges on hand, so I used lime wedges instead. They worked just as well.

The shrimp were a bit overcooked. I would recommend reducing the cooking time by a minute or two.

This recipe is a bit bland for my taste. I like my shrimp with a little more spice. I would recommend adding some cayenne pepper or Old Bay seasoning to the boiling water.

I've tried many boiled shrimp recipes, but this one is by far the best. The shrimp were perfectly cooked, tender and juicy, and the seasoning was spot-on. I'll definitely be making this again!

These shrimp turned out amazing! The simplicity of the recipe allowed the natural flavor of the shrimp to shine through. I served them with a lemon wedge and some melted butter for dipping, and they were a hit with my family.
