I thought the popcorn shrimps were a bit bland. I would probably add more seasoning next time.

These popcorn shrimps were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. I would probably make them again, but I would use less chili powder next time.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The popcorn shrimps were not crispy at all and the batter was bland. I would not recommend this recipe.
