These shrimp were a bit too salty for my taste, but they were still very good. I will definitely be making them again, but I will use less salt next time.

These shrimp were a bit spicy for my taste, but they were still very good. I will definitely be making them again, but I will use less chili powder next time.

These shrimp were amazing! I marinated them for about 2 hours and then grilled them over medium heat. They were cooked perfectly and had a delicious flavor. I will definitely be making these again!
