re: Beginner Creole Cooking - Shrimp Remoulade (Pics pg. 1)

A friend of mine gave me his method for boiling a small amount of shrimp and it comes out perfect every time:


Boiled Shrimp

2 lbs unpeeled shrimp
6 cups water
3 Tablespoons of Louisiana Shrimp, Crab, Crawfish Boil (not liquid; one in package)
1 lemon, quartered.

Boil water first without shrimp. When water comes to a rolling boil, turn fire off and put shrimp in. Squeeze lemon juice over shrimp and put lemons in. Add 3 tablespoons of the shrimp boil and stir well to mix everything up.

Cover and let sit for 25-30 minutes. Do not turn stove back on.

Drain; peel and eat.
