This dish is a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think I can tone it down by using less cayenne pepper.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my shrimp creole turned out too spicy. I think I'll use less cayenne pepper next time.

This dish was a disappointment. The sauce was bland and the shrimp were overcooked.
