I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my shrimp turned out soggy. I'm going to try this recipe again and see if I can get it right.

This recipe is a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and it was much better.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I ended up burning the shrimp. I'll stick to simpler recipes in the future.

I didn't have any panko breadcrumbs, so I used crushed Ritz crackers instead. They worked great and the shrimp were still crispy and delicious.

The sauce was a bit too spicy for my taste, but the shrimp were cooked perfectly. I'll definitely try this recipe again with a milder sauce.
