Shrimp looks good. Lose the bay leaf and thyme stem. Gotta do something with that bread – looks hella sloppy and overcooked. Burn marks are ok, but those black end bits are just going to overpower and make your dish bitter.

I’d eat this, I’m sure the flavors and textures are there. Plating is awkward imho. I’d lose the thyme sprig and bay leaf and maybe cut the bread to a uniform shape before toasting so the dish has more eye appeal? Good stuff, Chef.

Looks more like sourDONT, amirite?
No but seriously, the shrimp are lovely. One of my favorite dishes. Those burned sourdough crusts need some work.

The shrimp look divine. I’d leave the toast in a whole piece and go for a longer bias cut. Or I’d grill it then cut it if you really want to halve it.

Needs work. Slapping shrimp down on some sauce and putting a bay leaf over top of it isn’t exactly “plating”. The toast points look like someone left them under the broiler for too long.

Fuck off with that bay leaf, are we all going to collectively ignore what’s edible and what’s not when it comes to plating? Dutty

Constructive criticism: that bread looks like someone’s been eating it. Especially for a picture you should be cutting a nice piece of bread. Even a long slice of grilled baguette would have been better. The other thing is the bay and thyme like others have said. It’s inedible and doesn’t belong on a plate. Shrimp look good and that sauce looks really nice and glossy.
If you want a nice clean plating it’s all the little things that not only add up but stand out. That piece of bread is the biggest thing on the plate so it’s especially important to look good bc it’s gonna stand out.
Again, I’m not dogging you or anything, completely constructive.

Somebody will eat that bay leaf and get pissed.
