Shrimp boils are always fun. Timing is everything. That looks great. Good time and makes a party.
Here's my recipe serves 6 to 8
1⁄2 cup Old Bay Seasoning
2 A little salt to taste (Doesn’t need much salt if any)
4 quarts of water
1 (12 ounce) can or bottle of Corona and 2 shots of tequila
12-16 small red potatoes
2 large Vidalia cut in wedges or 14-16 boiler onions peeled and topped,
¼ cup of Franks Hot Sauce (less if you don’t want a little heat)
2 pounds of Hot Italian Sausage, cut in 2 inch lengths
8 ½ ears of corn on the cob Cut them in half
4 lbs
large shrimp, in shells or 3 ½ lbs precooked and flash frozen shelled shrimp. It’s your choice, (usually 6 shrimp per person)
You can also add other shellfish such as small lobster tails, crawfish, mussels, or clams. Just reduce the amount of shrimp.
