re: I need some cajuns’ advice on shrimp boil.

I like to use a boil bag with the powder seasoning and just a dot of the liquid. Depending on brand the liquid can get a bit hot. And I like spice.

You could also add a little bit of cut up lemons, celery, and onions. Maybe easy on the lemon though.

You'll eventually find a method you like. I would not boil the shrimp too long. They cook quickly.

What kind of shrimp are you using? The non previously frozen are so much nicer boiled.
