Ingredients

Mild Blend

  • ½ cup salt
  • ½ cup MSG
  • cup curry powder
  • 2 tablespoons garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Hot Blend

  • ½ cup salt
  • ¼ cup black pepper
  • ¼ cup cayenne pepper
  • ¼ cup paprika
  • cup celery seed ground
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon cumin
  • 1 tablespoon mustard powder

Shrimp

  • 2 pounds Shrimp Colossal, unpeeled, tails on.

Instructions

  1. Fill a big pot with water, add about 1 cup of the spice blends and bring to boil. You can try just the mild spice blend, just the hot or a combination of the two. Experiment with how much you add and in no time you’ll have the perfect amount for your taste buds.
  2. When the water is at a boil, add the shrimp and cook for 5-7 minutes. Pull one out and taste for consistency and if not quite done, add another minute or two but don’t overcook them.
  3. Drain them in a colander and cover them immediately with ice until chilled.
  4. Serve in a bowl or on a platter with cocktail sauce but in my opinion, they don’t need the cocktail sauce. They are good enough on their own without it.
