Ingredients:
3 ears fresh corn, husks removed
1 (3 ounce) package crab boil, boil-in-bag
1/4 cup liquid shrimp-and-crab boil seasoning
2 large lemons, quartered
1 large onion, quartered
3 lbs small red potatoes
4 lbs unpeeled large raw shrimp
8 cups ice cubes
3 tablespoons salt
Directions:
1. Cut corn in half.
2. Bring boil-in-bag shrimp-and-crab boil, next 3 ingredients, and 3 1/2 quart water to a boil in a large stockpot over high heat.
3. Add potatoes and corn.
4. Cover and boil over medium-high heat 20 minutes or until potatoes and corn are tender.
5. Stir in shrimp; remove from heat.
6. Cover and let stand 10 minutes. (Shrimp will turn pink, and shells will loosen slightly.)
7. Stir in ice cubes and salt, and let stand 5 minutes.
8. Drain, discarding boil bag.
9. Serve with Timmy's Shrimp Sauce.
10. 6 (4-inch) ears frozen corn may be substituted. (Do not halve.).
