SHRIMP BOIL RECIPE

Ingredients:

• Fresh Louisiana shrimp
• Pontchartrain Seafood's homemade seasoning mix
• Dozen lemons
• 6 heads of garlic
• 3lb bag of onions
• Celery
• Small bag ice
• 6 pack of beer

Directions:

• Fill your 80 qt. boiling pot to one inch below halfway point of your pot with basket in.
• Open a beer
• Add Pontchartrain Seafood's homemade seasoning mix and drink beer
• Cut lemons in half and squeeze juice into to water and drop in lemons.
• Add halved onions, halved garlic, and celery.
• Stir pot with paddle
• Light the fire on the pot and cover with lid
• Bring to a rolling boil
• Add shrimp and have another beer
• Stir shrimp with paddle and cover
• Bring water back almost to a rolling boil. A foam solution will cover pot and water will start to boil. At this point immediately shut off fire.
• Add small bag of ice to water and if outdoors hose off with water underneath and around pot. (the change of water temperature helps shrimp absorb seasoning)
• Let shrimp soak a total of 30 minutes with cover off. After 10 minutes hose pot off again and repeat after 20 minutes. After 30 minutes scoop shrimp out of pot or if using basket remove basket. Dump shrimp on table and open beer. Enjoy shrimp and beer together.
• If you like sausage, potatoes and corn with your boil we recommend you boil in a separate pot. These items are season robbers.
