Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Add the potatoes, 1 teaspoon seafood seasoning and 1 tablespoon olive oil to a mixing bowl. Toss to coat the potatoes in the oil and seasoning. Add the potatoes to a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until the potatoes are slightly browned and tender, but still have some resistance when pierced with a fork, 10 to 15 minutes.
- In the meantime, add the butter, garlic and remaining 4 tablespoons olive oil to a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat until the butter is melted. Add the shrimp and corn to a large mixing bowl. Add the butter mixture and remaining tablespoon seafood seasoning. Toss everything together so the shrimp and corn are covered in the seasoning.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and add the shrimp, corn and sliced andouille sausage.
- Transfer back to the oven and cook until the shrimp is cooked through and the corn is tender, another 15 minutes.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and top with the juice of 1 lemon and the chopped parsley. Serve with extra lemon wedges on the side.
Tips:
- Choose the freshest seafood possible. Fresh shrimp and sausage will give your boil the best flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the pot. If you add too much food to the pot, it will not cook evenly.
- Season the water well. The water should be flavorful enough to season the food.
- Don't overcook the seafood. Seafood cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it or it will become tough.
- Serve the boil with plenty of sides. Corn on the cob, potatoes, and sausage are all popular sides for a shrimp boil.
Conclusion:
A shrimp boil is a delicious and easy meal that is perfect for a summer party or gathering. With a little planning, you can make a shrimp boil that everyone will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a fun and festive meal, give shrimp boil a try!
