I wouldn't make this recipe again. The shrimp were tough and the cayenne aioli was not very flavorful.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The shrimp were a bit bland and the cayenne aioli was too spicy for my taste.

I had some trouble getting the shrimp to brown evenly. I think I might have cooked them for too long.
