Easy Campsite Shrimp Boil
This classic shrimp boil is a wonderful, easy, I-can-do recipe at the campsite!
It calls for a 12 qt stock pot with I have in my camper (after all I'm from Louisiana and when camping we do gumbo's, stews, red beans, and chili's usually for a crowd),
I also use my induction cooktop to cook this outside, so need to pack around a cooker unless you do so anyway!
Anyway, here's the recipe:
Yield: Makes 8 servings (or 4 Cajuns)
Cook time:40 Minutes
Ingredients:
1 (12-ounce) bottle beer (ok, I have a preference here too...Budweiser )
1 (1.5-ounce) bag seafood boil seasoning (Zatarain's if possible)
1 tablespoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
3 bay leaves
2 onions, quartered
2 garlic bulbs, halved
2 lemons, halved
8 small red potatoes
4 ears fresh corn, husks removed and halved (I also use frozen corn!)
1 pound smoked sausage, cut into 2-3-inch diagonal slices
2 pounds large shrimp (or if you wish to skip the sausage make it 3 lbs of shrimp)
Preparation:
1. Bring 4 quarts water and first 8 ingredients to a boil in a 12-quart stockpot. Add potatoes; simmer 15 minutes. Add corn and sausage; simmer 8 minutes. Add shrimp, cover, and turn off heat. Let shrimp sit 10 to 15 minutes to absorb flavor.
2. Drain liquid, and spread shrimp boil out on a newspaper-covered table.
3. Serve with french bread, lemon wedges, melted butter, and Tony Chachere's Creole seasoning.
And as any good Louisianan would say and of course, Steve...
