Shrimp Boil Dinner

"Simple shrimp boil. Make sure you have the seasonings in a bag, that way you get the flavor but not all the spices all over your food. Serve with warm french bread and a cold, crisp, green salad. Finish off with a cold summer dessert!"

  1. This is delicious with kielbasa slices added- we use the Lite kielbasa from Hillshire Farms. And lots of lemon & cocktail sauce!
     
  2. We love Boil N Pots- that we call them. We boil sausage for a while then add the taters, then the corn and shrimp. We use lemons- love it. Also have added button mushrooms and carrots- not my fave with those but makes it interesting. We love lots of Crab boil seasoning- I like the liquid form also. Great Summertime Dinner !
     
  3. I love the shrimp boil (we dont use lemon though).
     
  4. Wonderful! This brought back memories of my to short of stay in Baton Rouge. This was served as the main event at my Super Bowl party. It was served with recipe #111856. Very quick and easy.
