Boiled Shrimp

What You Do:

Get fresh shrimp with head on or head off from Authentic Louisiana Seafood
Get a pot big enough to cover your shrimp with about an inch of water
Add salt
Add 2 medium onions cut in quarters
Add 1 large lemon, squeeze juice into water then add the squeezed lemon skin
to water.
Add your spices, usually Zatarain’s - liquid or bag - directions on the label for the
number of pounds of shrimp you are going to use (Zatarains directions are on the
label of the bottle and are always the one we use)
Bring to rolling boil
When water is boiling add your shrimp
Return to a boil for one minute or when you see shrimp turn pink
Immediately remove from heat and add enough ice to cover the shrimp and stir
to get the ice throughout the shrimp pot – uncover and let soak for 5 minutes – this
allows the shrimp to stop cooking and start soaking up your spices.

When boiling crawfish, shrimp or crabs the only extra ingredients to enhance the flavor of your seafood would be celery, onions, garlic, lemons and oranges. These are friendly ingredients that do not rob the flavor of your boil or have any bearing on the taste of your Authentic Louisiana Seafood.

Conversely if you add potatoes, corn, wieners, sausage or mushrooms these will directly effect your seafood seasoning. We call them season robbers!! Some folks think you should boil them in separate pot which is not a badidea. Others boil them in the seasoned water first. Whether you boil them in the same pot or not always drop the potatoes & onions first & when they are almost done re-season your water with @ least 3/4s more seasoning then add all your other stuff plus your crawfish & boil as usual. This will ensure your crawfish get the right dose of spices& your potatoes, onions etc will get seasoned perfectly.
