Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lemons, halved
2 large onions, halved
4 garlic cloves, smashed with the flat side of a large knife blade
Shrimp Boil Spice Bundle
3 pounds medium red potatoes, scrubbed
8 to 10 ears fresh corn, shucked and broken in half
3 pounds unshelled large shrimp, tail on
1 cup (2 sticks) melted unsalted butter
Hot sauce
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Bring 5 quarts of water to a boil in a 10- to 12-quart pot. Squeeze juice from the lemons into water, then add the halves. Add onions, garlic, and spice bundle.
  • Add potatoes to pot, reduce heat, and simmer, covered, until potatoes are almost tender, about 10 minutes. Add corn; continue cooking 5 minutes more.
  • Stir in shrimp, submerging them completely. Cover partially, and let stand until shrimp are cooked through, about 3 minutes. Ladle 2 cups of broth into a glass measuring cup; drain the shrimp and vegetables in a large colander, discarding remaining liquid.
  • Make spicy butter: In a small saucepan, stir together melted butter and hot sauce to taste. Divide butter among small dishes or ramekins.
  • Divide reserved broth among small bowls for dipping. Transfer shrimp and vegetables to a large platter, and serve with spicy butter and lemon wedges, if desired.

I thought the shrimp boil was delicious, but the potatoes were a bit undercooked. I'll cook them for a few extra minutes next time.

The shrimp boil was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. Next time I'll use less Old Bay seasoning.
