This dish was a little too spicy for me, but I think that's because I used too much chili flakes. Next time I'll use less.

I've never cooked with shells before, but this recipe made it easy. The shells cooked evenly and they were the perfect texture.

I'm not a big fan of spinach, but I really enjoyed this dish. The shrimp and shells were cooked perfectly and the spinach added a nice subtle flavor.

This recipe was a little bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more garlic and chili flakes next time.

I added some chopped sun-dried tomatoes to this recipe and it was delicious! It gave the dish a nice tangy flavor.

I didn't have any shells on hand, so I used penne pasta instead. It worked out just fine.

This dish was a little too salty for my taste, but I think that's because I used salted butter. Next time I'll use unsalted butter and see if that makes a difference.
