Big pot of boiling water, seasoned with Old Bay or other “seafood” boil. Ingredients in order of additions: Potatoes: Small red or white, cut in half. About 2 red or 1 big white per person. Onions: 1 - 2 per person, whole or half Celery: Chopped into 1 inch pieces. Some per person - to taste Corn: 1 cob per person, cut in half (more if you want) Shrimp: 1/4 lb. per person, shells on Tomatoes: Canned or fresh for flavor with shrimp Potatoes, onions, celery, cook for 20 minutes, then add shrimp and corn. Cook for 5 - 7 minutes. Check for seasonings and serve. -Sara |
