This boil right here, IS summer. ☀️ Not to mention, very quick and easy! This is the sort of dish to share with family and kiddos, the wow factor for your upcoming party’s or just a quick weeknight meal for your honey. With fresh corn 🌽 coming in, this is the perfect way to eat them up!! Even if you aren’t a shrimp lover (like myself) the other protein in this boil is juicy kielbasa, and it is smackin good.😍
Shrimp Boil Recipe
Feeds 2-4
Takes about 30 minutes
-what you need-
Shrimp Boil
- 1 red onion, peeled and quartered
- 6 whole garlic cloves, peeled and lightly smashed
- 1/4 cup old bay seasoning
- 16 oz bag of whole, red baby potatoes – I used Nibbles
- 3 ears of corn cut into thirds
- 12 oz Kielbasa cut into 1/2 inch pieces
- 1 pound fresh, peeled and deveined shrimp
Garnish
- Melted butter
- Fresh chopped parsley and chives
- Old bay
- Fresh lemon wedges
-what to do-
- In a very large pot, fill with water, add in your onion, garlic and old bay and bring to a boil.
- If your shrimp aren’t peeled, nows the time to clean those up
- When water is just at boiling point, add in the potatoes and cook for 7-10 minutes until almost fork tender
- Next, add in your corn and cook for 3 minutes.
- Next, add in your kielbasa and cook for 5 more minutes.
- Lastly, add in your shrimp and cook for 3 minutes until pink.
- Reserve 1-2 cups of the boil liquid if desired, then strain the rest in a colander and dump onto a large baking sheet.
- Drizzle over some melted butter, garnish with parsley, chives, fresh lemon wedges, sprinkle on a little extra old bay and DIG IN!!! I like to leave the bowl of the boil liquid on table for dunking.
- Enjoy!! 🍤
