Finger-licking goodness here! A summertime classic shrimp boil that EVERYONE will love. Serve with lemon wedges and hot sauce!
Nothing screams summer more than a classic shrimp boil (also known as a low country boil), scattered on newspaper with cold beer, lemon wedges, hot sauce, and Old Bay seasoning.
The most important thing here is to find the biggest pot possible, about 8-9 qt is ideal. From there, you should be all set with your fresh ingredients – unpeeled shrimp, corn, sausage, and baby potatoes, which all gets cooked in a garlicky, lemony beer broth seasoned with Old Bay and Zatarain’s Crawfish, Shrimp & Crab Boil (the best kind of seasoning IMO).
When serving, go ahead and drizzle (generously) that oh-so-buttery Old Bay goodness. My favorite is having some fresh crusty bread on the side to sop up EVERYTHING here.
