Ingredients: Plan on at least 1 pound of shrimp per person. I add corn, potatoes and smoked sausage, but you can boil whatever you like alongside your shrimp.
3 gallons water
1 cup salt
1 small bag of powdered crab boil
3 bags shrimp boil seasoning and 1 cup Cajun seasoning mix and a little crab boil doesn't hurt
4 whole lemons, halved
3 pounds small red potatoes
1 dozen ears frozen corn on the cob
4 pounds smoked pork sausage links, cut into portions
6 pounds large head-on fresh Gulf shrimp
Tony Chachere's or Emeril's essence
Cocktail sauce, for serving

Directions:In a large stockpot over high heat, bring the water to a rolling boil.
Add the salt, crab boil powder, bags of crab boil seasoning, liquid crab boil and lemon halves. Continue to boil for 5 minutes as the water seasons.
Add the potatoes and let boil for 10 minutes. Add the corn and sausage and boil for another 10 minutes.
Add the shrimp and boil for 2 minutes longer, if that, and turn off the heat. Cool the pot. Let the shrimp and all the other ingredients sit in the water for 5 minutes and then remove.
Pile the shrimp, potatoes, corn and sausage together on a newspaper-lined table. Sprinkle on the Cajun seasoning if desired. Serve with cocktail sauce or your favorite dipping sauce and ice-cold beer. |
