These pickled shrimp were a little too salty for my taste. Next time I'll use less salt in the pickling liquid.

I love pickled shrimp and this recipe is one of the best I've tried. The shrimp are perfectly cooked and the pickling liquid is flavorful and tangy.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The shrimp were tough and the flavor was bland.

These pickled shrimp were a little too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed them. Next time I'll use less chili pepper flakes.
