The shrimp were a bit bland. I think I will add some more spices next time.

These shrimp were a bit too salty for my taste, but I think that's because I used a bit too much Old Bay seasoning.

The shrimp were a little too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. I think I will use less Old Bay seasoning next time.
