Shrimp Boil

Most people like shrimp and most people can boil water. However, most people like flavor. So, you will need to flavor that water with some stuff to make everything taste outstanding. A shrimp boil can be done on a small or large scale depending on the number of people joining you or the size of your pot. Below is a great recipe from the food network for a simple Shrimp Boil. I have also included a video to show you things more clearly. Include whatever you have. This is really simple and delicious. I hope you enjoy it.

Ingredients

• 2 lemons, halved, plus wedges for serving
• 1/2 cup Old Bay Seasoning
• 8 cloves garlic, smashed
• 1 large red onion, quartered
• 6 sprigs fresh thyme
• 1 pound baby red potatoes
• 4 ears corn, husked and snapped in half
• 1 1/4 pounds large shrimp, unpeeled
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• Hot sauce, for serving (optional)

Directions

1. Fill a large pot with 4 quarts of water. Squeeze the lemon juice into the water and add the squeezed lemon halves. Add the Old Bay, garlic and onion. Tie the thyme sprigs together with kitchen twine and add to the pot. Cover and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook about 5 minutes.
2. Add the potatoes to the pot and cook until just tender, about 10 minutes. Add the corn and cook 5 more minutes.
3. Meanwhile, slice along the back of each shrimp through the shells; remove the veins and rinse the shrimp. Add to the pot, cover and cook until the shrimp curl and are just opaque, 2 to 3 minutes.
4. Transfer the shrimp and vegetables with a slotted spoon or skimmer to a large bowl. Add the butter and about 1 cup broth to the bowl and toss until the butter is melted. Transfer the shrimp and vegetables to a platter. Serve with the remaining broth, lemon wedges and hot sauce, if desired.
