Time 1h15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 cups boiling water
4 cubes chicken bouillon
8 cups water, or more as needed
1 large onion, quartered

3 ears corn, shucked and cut into thirds, or more to taste
16 ounces raw shrimp, headless and shells on
4 cups ice cubes

Steps:

  • Combine boiling water and bouillon cubes in a large pot and stir until dissolved. Add 8 additional cups of water, onion, garlic, bay leaves, cloves, butter, salt, coriander seeds, dill seeds, mustard seeds, celery seeds, allspice, and peppercorns and bring to a boil, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 20 minutes.

Place shrimp, potatoes, and corn on top of the sheet and place the sheet on the dining table for everyone to serve themselves. If you are a neat freak, place shrimp, potatoes, and corn in a serving dish to pass at the table.
