I followed the recipe exactly and the shrimp turned out perfectly. They were cooked through but still juicy and flavorful.

These shrimp were a bit too salty for my taste. I think next time I'll use less bacon.

These shrimp were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. I think next time I'll use less chili powder.

I'm not a fan of spicy food, so I omitted the chili powder from the recipe. The shrimp were still delicious!

I followed the recipe exactly and the shrimp turned out overcooked. I think it's important to watch the shrimp closely and remove them from the heat as soon as they are cooked through.
