Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lemons, halved
2 large onions, halved
4 garlic cloves, smashed with the flat side of a large knife blade
Shrimp Boil Spice Bundle
3 pounds medium red potatoes, scrubbed
8 to 10 ears fresh corn, shucked and broken in half
3 pounds unshelled large shrimp, tail on
1 cup (2 sticks) melted unsalted butter
Hot sauce
Lemon wedges, for serving

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover shrimp. I also like to add some sausage or chicken to the pot for extra flavor.

This is the best shrimp boil I've ever had! The shrimp was so fresh and plump, and the corn and potatoes were cooked to perfection. The seasoning was also perfect, with just the right amount of spice.

This shrimp boil is a seafood lover's dream! The shrimp, corn, and potatoes were cooked to perfection and the seasoning was on point. I especially loved the addition of the Old Bay seasoning, which gave the dish a delicious smoky flavor.
