A delicious and hearty Cajun shrimp boil recipe.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 oz Cajun sausage (slice into coins or use mini bites)
- 12 oz raw shrimp
- 4 ears corn (cut in half)
- 12 red baby potatoes
- 1 red onion (sliced)
- 1 bulb garlic (halved)
- 2 lemons (halved)
- 3 oz Zatarain’s Crawfish, Shrimp & Crab Boil seasoning
- 8 cups water
- 1/2 cup butter (one stick) (melted)
- Old Bay seasoning (to taste)
Instructions
- Add water and Zatarain’s Crawfish, Shrimp & Crab Boil seasoning to a large stockpot. Bring to boil on high heat. Stir in potatoes, onions and garlic. Cover and boil 15 minutes or until potatoes are soft all the way through.
- Add sausage, lemons, corn and raw shrimp to the pot. Cover and boil an additional 3-5 minutes or just until shrimp is pink in color all the way through.
