Overall, I thought this recipe was pretty good. The shrimp were crispy and flavorful, but they were a little too oily for my taste.

The shrimp were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more Cajun seasoning next time.

These shrimp were a little too oily for my taste. I think next time I'll cook them in the oven instead of frying them.

The shrimp were a little too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. I think next time I'll use less cayenne pepper.
