I'm allergic to shrimp, but this recipe looks so good that I'm tempted to try it with another type of seafood.

I'm not sure I understand the purpose of the aspic. It doesn't really add anything to the dish.

The shrimp in aspic was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it more if the aspic had been made with a more flavorful broth.
