Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. The shrimp were cooked well, but the cornmeal batter was a bit too thick for my liking.

I followed the recipe exactly, but the shrimp didn't turn out crispy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These shrimp were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add more seasoning to the cornmeal batter next time.
