Shrimp Boil (Peel and Eat Shrimp) image

The best Peel and Eat Shrimp I've ever had! We served 10 plus lbs at our Halloween party this year and they were easy for me to cook while entertaining! They are great hot or cold depending on how you prefer them. The size of the shrimp isn't too important, just that they are still in the shell. It is very important for the flavor. I was lucky to find a store where I live that sells shell on but deveined shrimp! Cooking time depends on the size of the shrimp. I use medium size shrimp

Time 40m

Yield 24-36 shrimp

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 lb shrimp, shell on
1/2 gallon water (4ish cups)
1 cup apple juice
1 cup carrot
1 cup celery
10 peppercorns
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 cup white onion
1 head garlic
2 lemons, sliced in half
2 tablespoons salt
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon basil
1 teaspoon parsley

Steps:

  • Cut head of garlic in half & chop all veggies.
  • Put everything in a large stock pot BUT shrimp.
  • If using more than 1 lb of shrimp, double as needed. I've done 5 lbs in one huge pot.
  • Boil for 15 to 20 minute.
  • The stock will be too salty and to spicy.
  • Add shrimp and depending on size cook on high 5 to 10 minute.
  • Put a strainer into the sink.
  • Remove pan from heat and dump into strainer, pick out shrimp and eat hot or cold.
  • If you want to eat them cold then don't dump all the liquid. save about half and place shrimp, veggies and stock in a bowl and put in fridge till desired temperature.
  • We prefer to eat warm.

I'm not a fan of spicy food, but this shrimp boil was just the right amount of spicy for me. It had a nice kick without being overpowering.

This shrimp boil is a great way to use up leftover shrimp. I always have a few shrimp left over after making a shrimp dish and this is the perfect way to use them up.
