Notes
- Potatoes: since the potatoes take longer to cook, add these first. This allows them plenty of time to soften.
- Shrimp: Use jumbo size for this recipe. The larger size pairs perfectly with the large chunks of potato and corn.
- Shrimp cooks quickly when boiled. It only needs 2-3 minutes. Keep an eye on the coloring, as soon as they are added into the broth you will notice the tails turn pink. Cook until the flesh itself is pink and opaque.
- To save time, purchase shrimp that has been deveined and peeled, or choose an easy peel that has been deveined. Otherwise:
- Sausage: If you need some more meat/protein in this recipe slice up some andouille sausage. Add this in with the corn to cook.
- Old Bay: substitute old bay seasoning for Zatarains or Louisiana brand Shrimp Boil packets if desired.
- Pot Size: This recipe will fit in a 5 qt saucepan. Be careful it will be filled to the top. Use a larger pot if available.
- To devein: use a paring knife to cut a slit along the top where you can see a dark line. Use the tip of the knife to lift out the dark vein. Can gently pull with your fingers if needed, if you tug too hard it will rip the vein. Wipe the vein off on a paper towel and continue until they have all been deveined.
- To peel: simply remove the shell by pulling the main part of the shell and the legs off with your fingers. Keep the tail on for looks and something to hold on to when eating them if desired.
