I found the recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra garlic and Parmesan cheese to give it more flavor.

I'm not a fan of spicy food, so I omitted the cayenne pepper from the shrimp. It was still very flavorful.

The Caesar dressing was a bit too thick for my taste, but the salad was still very good.
