Low Country Shrimp Boil

I had a few of my neighbors over yesterday for a low country boil. I love shrimp boils. So fun and yummy!

We were just getting the kids set up with theirs when the wind picked up and it started to lightly rain- -- - right on my parade!

So we moved inside.

Low Country Shrimp Boil

Water in a pot

2 packages of Zataran's Crab and Shrimp boil (or one whole box of Old Bay Cajun seasoning. Zataran's is spicier than Old Bay)

6 lemons - cut in half

*Get water boiling with seasoning and lemons. Then add:

Bag of new potatoes - boil for 7 minutes then add:

6 onions cut into big chunks - boil for 7 minutes then add:

Big bag of chicken tenders - boil for 7 minutes then add:

Mini corn cobs (however many you want) - boil for 7 minutes then add:

Cleaned, peeled, raw shrimp - boil for 3 to 5 minutes until the shrimp is pink.

You can really add a lot of different stuff like spicy sausage, crawdads, crab, etc.

*Drain water out and dump food down the middle of the table that has been lined with newspaper. Grab your food right from the pile with your fingers and dip food in a pink sauce and ENJOY!

Pink Sauce

Miracle whip

Ketchup

*mix together until it's a nice pink color

A sprinkle of garlic salt

A squeeze of lemon juice

*add garlic and lemon until you like the taste

Clean up is a snap! Just wad up the newspaper and toss it in the trash! No plates or silverware to wash!
