This recipe is a bit spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I'll try using less cayenne pepper next time.

The shrimp were a little overcooked, but the sauce was delicious. I'll try cooking the shrimp for a shorter amount of time next time.

This shrimp cocktail platter was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.
