I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my shrimp turned out rubbery. I'll have to try this recipe again.

Overall, I thought this dish was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either.

This dish was a bit too expensive for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

The shrimp were a bit overcooked. I think I'll cook them for less time next time.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra spices to the marinade and it turned out much better.

These shrimp were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less aquavit next time.

I marinated the shrimp for a few hours before cooking them. The flavor was amazing! I'll definitely be making this dish again.

I've made this dish several times and it's always a hit. The shrimp are so flavorful and the marinade is easy to make. I usually serve them with a side of rice and steamed broccoli.

This aquavit-marinated shrimp dish was a real treat! The shrimp were plump and juicy, and the marinade added a wonderful flavor. I served them with a side of grilled vegetables and a glass of white wine, and it was the perfect summer meal.
