The shrimp were a bit overcooked, but the pilaf was delicious.

This dish is a bit bland for my taste. I'll add some extra spices next time.

This recipe is a bit too spicy for my taste, but it's still really good. I'll just use less cayenne pepper next time.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover shrimp. I always have a few leftover after a shrimp boil, and this is a great way to use them up.
