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).

Time 45m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup Old Bay Seasoning
2 tablespoons salt
4 quarts water
1 (12 ounce) can beer
8 medium red potatoes, cut in quarters
2 large vidalia onions, cut in wedges
2 lbs smoked sausage, cut in 2 inch lengths
8 ears frozen corn on the cob, thawed (I use Birdseye Little Ears)
4 lbs large shrimp, in shells

Steps:

  • In an 8-quart stock pot, bring Old Bay, salt, water and beer to a boil.
  • Add potatoes and onions; cook over high heat for 8 minutes.
  • Add smoked sausage; continue to cook on high for 5 minutes.
  • Add corn to pot; continue to boil for 7 minutes.
  • Add shrimp in shells, cook for 4 minutes.
  • Drain cookin liquid; pour contents of pot into several large bowl or shallow pails.
  • Sprinkle with additional Old Bay.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, wild-caught shrimp. This will give your boil the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become tough and rubbery.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will add color and flavor to your boil. Some good options include corn on the cob, potatoes, carrots, and celery.
  • Season the water well. The water is the base of your boil, so make sure it's well-seasoned. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic, and Old Bay seasoning.
  • Serve the boil with a variety of dipping sauces. This will allow your guests to customize their meal. Some good options include melted butter, cocktail sauce, and remoulade.

Conclusion:

A spicy shrimp and sausage boil is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a summer party. With its combination of fresh seafood, vegetables, and spices, this boil is sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you're looking for a fun and festive meal, give this recipe a try.
