Cajun Shrimp Boil

A Cajun Shrimp boil that can be done on the stove!

I live in New Mexico, so getting fresh crawfish, shrimp, and crab for a real Louisiana seafood boil is next to impossible. I used frozen shrimp from my local supermarket for this boil.



Ingredients:
12 Red Potatoes
1 lg package Mushrooms
2 Onions
2 whole Garlic cloves
2 Lemons
3lb Shrimp unpeeled
6 Andouille sausage
8 small Corn on the Cob
2 Tbsp Zatarains Crab Boil concentrate
1 Zatarains Seafood Bag Seasoning
10 Tbsp Salt

Directions:
5qts water into very large pot. Add 10 Tbsp Salt, 2 Tbsp Zatarains concentrate, 1 bag of Zatarains seasoning. Bring to a boil. Add Potatoes, onion, and garlic. Cook about 20 min. Add Sausage and Mushrooms and cook another 10 minutes. Add corn and cook another 5 min. Add lemons, and shrimp. Boil only 2-3 minutes more. Turn off heat, add 1 qt of ice to pot to stop the cooking. let soak about 3 min. Strain pot. Dump entire pot onto a table covered with plastic then top layer of newspapers. Enjoy!
