Steps:
- Bring 5 quarts of water to a boil in a 10- to 12-quart pot. Squeeze juice from the lemons into water, then add the halves. Add onions, garlic, and spice bundle.
- Add potatoes to pot, reduce heat, and simmer, covered, until potatoes are almost tender, about 10 minutes. Add corn; continue cooking 5 minutes more.
- Stir in shrimp, submerging them completely. Cover partially, and let stand until shrimp are cooked through, about 3 minutes. Ladle 2 cups of broth into a glass measuring cup; drain the shrimp and vegetables in a large colander, discarding remaining liquid.
- Make spicy butter: In a small saucepan, stir together melted butter and hot sauce to taste. Divide butter among small dishes or ramekins.
- Divide reserved broth among small bowls for dipping. Transfer shrimp and vegetables to a large platter, and serve with spicy butter and lemon wedges, if desired.

[email protected]I'm not a fan of shrimp, but I loved this recipe! The corn and potatoes were cooked perfectly and the seasoning was delicious. I'll definitely be making this again, but without the shrimp.

[email protected]This shrimp boil was a disaster! The shrimp was rubbery and the corn was raw. I ended up throwing the whole thing away.

[email protected]I thought this recipe was just okay. The shrimp was a bit overcooked and the corn was a bit mushy.

[email protected]This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think I'll try it again with less cayenne pepper next time.

[email protected]I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my shrimp boil turned out really bland. I think I might have used too much water.
