Steps:
- Depending on how you are serving your shrimp, you can leave the shells on or off. I peel and devein first and keep the shells for the shrimp boil.
- Place the shells from the shrimp in a large sauce pan along with 1 Tbsp garlic salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and bay leaf. Add 8 cups water and bring to a boil over med/high heat.
- Once water boils, add the peeled and deveined shrimp and simmer until pink, about 2-3 minutes depending on size of the shrimp. Drain and transfer cooked shrimp to a bowl of cold water to stop the cooking process and let cool.
BOILED SHRIMP WITH CREAMY BUTTERMILK AVOCADO SAUCE
I found this recipe in a magazine many summers ago and I changed it up to suit my family's taste. The shrimp are served chilled and are so nice on a hot day when you want something cool and easy. The Creamy Buttermilk-Avocado Sauce is so good and it accents the shrimp beautifully! Blessings, Enjoy !

Steps:
- For the remoulade: Stir together the mayonnaise, capers, hot sauce, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce and scallions in a small bowl; refrigerate until ready to serve.
- For the shrimp: Toss the shrimp with the flour, paprika, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Whisk the buttermilk and egg together in a medium bowl. Mix the French fried onions and panko in a shallow bowl. Working one at a time, shake the excess flour off the shrimp, and then dip to coat in the buttermilk. Let the excess buttermilk drip off, and then coat thoroughly in the onion-panko mixture. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and repeat with the remaining shrimp.
- Fill a large deep skillet with about 1/2 inch of oil and heat over medium-high heat until it registers 375 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer. Add half of the shrimp and fry, turning once, until golden brown on both sides and just cooked through, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain. Return the oil to 375 degrees F and repeat with the remaining shrimp. Sprinkle with salt while hot out of the fryer.
- Serve immediately with the remoulade and ketchup.

Steps:
- Fill a large pot with water; add onion, celery, lemon, and parsley. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce to a simmer and cook 15 to 20 minutes.
- Add shrimp and season with salt. When water returns to a simmer, immediately remove pot from heat. Shrimp should be curled and bright pink. Drain and let cool. Peel and devein shrimp.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality shrimp for the best flavor and texture.
- To devein the shrimp, use a sharp knife to make a shallow cut along the back of the shrimp, from the head to the tail. Remove the vein and rinse the shrimp thoroughly.
- Do not overcook the shrimp. Shrimp are cooked through when they are opaque and pink, and the meat is firm and slightly springy.
- For the creamy buttermilk avocado sauce, use ripe avocados for the creamiest and smoothest sauce.
- Make sure the sauce is well chilled before serving. This will help to keep the sauce from separating.
- Serve the boiled shrimp with the creamy buttermilk avocado sauce immediately.
Conclusion:
Boiled shrimp with creamy buttermilk avocado sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The shrimp are cooked to perfection and the sauce is creamy, tangy, and flavorful. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
