Yesterday I made shrimp boil. I used a store bought premade spice pack to make this.
1 box of seafood boil spice pack
2 lbs of shrimps shell on
some salt
3 corn cobs
4 smoked sausages, I wanted to use andouille sausages, but I can't find them at the store
2 lemons
I fill my big dutch oven with water to about 2/3 full. Add the spices and some salt to taste. Bring the water to a boil.
Chop up the potatoes and corn. I cut them into big chunks. Add them to the boil. Return to a boil and let it sit for about 15 minutes.
Chop up the sausage into big chunks as well and add to the boil. Let that sit for about 10 minutes.
Add the shrimps and bury the shrimps to the bottom of the pot. Turn the heat off and let it sit for 5-7 minutes.
Then it is ready to be serve. I took all the food out of the water and into a big bowl and squeeze the juice of 2 lemons on everything.
This was pretty good. Lots of work to eat. I think if I had shrimps with head on it would be better. Next time I think I will try crawfish and or crabs.
