Finger-licking goodness right here! A summertime basic shrimp boil that EVERYONE will love. Serve with lemon wedges and scorching sauce!
Nothing screams summer time greater than a basic shrimp boil (also called a low nation boil), scattered on newspaper with chilly beer, lemon wedges, scorching sauce, and Previous Bay seasoning.
A very powerful factor right here is to search out the most important pot doable, about 8-9 qt is good. From there, you ought to be all set along with your contemporary components – unpeeled shrimp, corn, sausage, and child potatoes, which all will get cooked in a garlicky, lemony beer broth seasoned with Previous Bay and Zatarain’s Crawfish, Shrimp & Crab Boil (the very best type of seasoning IMO).
When serving, go forward and drizzle (generously) that oh-so-buttery Previous Bay goodness. My favourite is having some contemporary crusty bread on the facet to sop up EVERYTHING right here.
