Simple shrimp boil. Make sure you have the seasonings in a bag, that way you get the flavor but not all the spices all over your food. Serve with warm french bread and a cold, crisp, green salad. Finish off with a cold summer dessert!
Ingredients:
2 quarts hot water
2 (1 1/2 ounce) packages dry shrimp-and- crab boil seasoning (like golden dipt or zatarains, whatever is your favorite)
1 tablespoon salt
1 lemon, cut into wedges
1 1/2 lbs new potatoes, scrubbed and cleaned but not peeled (red)
4 ears corn on the cob
1 1/2 lbs large shrimp, unpeeled, rinsed and drained
Directions:
1. Combine hot water, seasoning bags, salt and lemon wedges in a 6-quart pot or Dutch Oven.
2. Bring to a boil.
3. Cut new potatoes in half. Place in boiling water; cover pot and simmer potatoes for 10 minutes; add corn to the pot.
4. Bring water back to a boil; cover and simmer vegetables for 5 minutes.
5. Remove vegetables from pot; cover and keep warm.
6. Return pot to a boil. Add shrimp. Cook shrimp in boiling water for 3 to 5 minutes or until shrimp turn pink.
7. Drain shrimp and serve with new potatoes and corn.
8. Serve with cocktail sauce and additional lemon wedges if desired.
