Add the shrimp to the boiling water, stir, cover and remove from the heat. Let stand for 8 to 10 minutes, or until shrimp are just cooked through.
  • Strain in a colander and transfer the shrimp to a large bowl. Discard the cooking liquid and seasonings. Refrigerate the shrimp until well chilled, about 1 hour. While the shrimp are chilling, make the Cocktail Sauce.
  • When ready to serve, divide the shrimp among 4 small bowls, and hang them on the rim of each bowl. Divide the cocktail sauce into 4 equal portions and place in the bottom of each bowl. Garnish each bowl with a lemon wedge. Alternatively, you can arrange a layer of crushed ice in the bottom of 4 bowls, put a small ramekin of the cocktail sauce in the ice and arrange the shrimp on the ice around the sauce.
  • Combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight jar or container.

CAJUN SHRIMP BOIL



Cajun Shrimp Boil image

In New Orleans, a seafood boil, the Southern tradition of gathering around a newspaper-lined table to eat large amounts of boiled shellfish with your bare hands, is all about salt and spice. In the words of Jared Austin, a Mississippi riverboat pilot and seafood-boil master, ''Nothing about any of this is subtle - people standing around the pot should sneeze and cough.'' The key to a successful shrimp boil is layering ingredients into the pot so that everything is done cooking at once: First add the potatoes and sausage, then the shrimp, then the frozen corn to bring the temperature down and prevent overcooking. Let it all soak to absorb the salt and spice, then dump it out onto the table and eat with copious amounts of rémoulade. While this recipe can easily be halved, it's a simple - and extraordinarily fun - way to feed a crowd. Just remember to heed Austin's advice: ''Don't be afraid of cayenne. Don't be afraid to let your nose run.''

Categories     seafood, main course

Time 1h15m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 (3-ounce) Louisiana or Zatarain's brand seafood-boil seasoning pouches
1/4 cup cayenne-pepper powder
1 1/2 cups kosher salt (or 2/3 cup fine sea salt)
2 yellow onions, peeled and halved through root
3 celery ribs, cut into 3-inch pieces
2 lemons, quartered
4 heads garlic
6 ears corn, shucked and cut into 3-inch pieces
2 1/2 pounds small (2-inch) red potatoes
2 12-ounce kielbasi, cut into 3-inch pieces
6 pounds shrimp, preferably with shells on

Steps:

  • Fill a very large (24-quart) pot with 8 quarts of water set over high heat. Add seasoning pouches, cayenne, salt, onions and celery. Squeeze lemon juice, and add wedges. Break garlic into cloves, and discard excess skin, then add unpeeled cloves. Cover the pot, and bring to a rolling boil.
  • Lay corn on a baking sheet in a single layer, then place in freezer.
  • Taste the water after it comes to a boil. It should be very heavily salted and spiced, with a bright orange foam (when standing near the boiling pot causes you to cough, it's spicy enough).
  • Add potatoes and sausage to the pot, and let the water return to a boil. Turn off heat, and allow to soak for 10 minutes or until potatoes are barely tender when pierced with a knife. Bring the water to a boil, and add shrimp. Cook for 3 minutes, then turn off heat, add corn and allow to soak for 7 minutes. Drain, and serve immediately with rémoulade (preferably on a newspaper-lined table).
