I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and the shrimp always turn out perfectly. I usually serve it with corn on the cob and potatoes.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I made a few changes to suit my taste. I added some Old Bay seasoning and omitted the cayenne pepper. The result was a delicious and flavorful shrimp boil.

The shrimp were delicious, but the sauce was a bit too thick for my taste. I'll try thinning it out next time.
