Shrimp Boil

[Brian Briggs]

Since my smoker is being modified, I am switching to my big pots tomorrow (pics to come during cooking). We are doing a shrimp boil and I can't wait. It's been a couple months.

To serve - Line a table with newspaper covered with brown paper bags or cardboard, Lift the
basket from the pot and drain. Dump the basket directly on the table. Serve with melted butter,
beer, french bread and lots of paper towels.


I recommend increasing the corn and sasusage (I always do). If not, you will run out.
