Homemade Shrimp Boil Recipe (video)
This week we got back to some good ol' simple and hearty shrimp boil! Now, this recipe can be used for lots of different kinds of seafood, like shrimp, crab, or crawfish. All of the different elements cook at slightly different times, so you just need to be a little bit careful about when you add each of the individual parts of the recipe. The potatoes take the longest, followed by the sausage and the corn, and then the shrimp goes in at the end for the shortest time.
We served this by putting the whole pot onto the table and using tongs to pull out the potatoes, corn, sausage, and shrimp, but if you want to do it a little more rustic, you can strain the liquid out, cover your table with plastic and newspaper, and dump all the tasty stuff in the middle of the table, and just toss the shrimp shells onto the paper! Makes it easy to clean up afterwards, just wrap up everything in the paper and throw it away!
