Thread: Anniversary Dinner (for the fine dining enthusiast) Not - crappie, Mod can sensor....

5 #'s Head on Shrimp
5 gallon pot a little over 1/2 full of water
2 cups Zatarains Pro Boil
1/2 cup Zatarains Liquid boil
4 Eureka Lemons halved and squeezed into water (flavors but also acid makes shrimp peel much better)
2 large heads of garlic, 1 cut in half crossways, one whole (to eat with shrimp)
2 large yellow onions cut in half
large bag button mushrooms
1 bag small "boiling" new potatoes

Bring water to boil with seasonings only. Low boil lid on for 1/2 hour to trigger seasonings to go off.
Add shrimp and bring to boil for 1 min, turn off heat and hot soak 5 min, add ice to water for cool down 5 min.
remove shrimp and garlic, bring water back to boil, add potatoes and boil 10 min, while still boiling add
mushrooms, hot dogs, ear corn, or other fast boil items and cook till done. usually less than 10 min.
BTW, PITA to do it this way but shrimp fat seasons other boil items this way.

Saved this as have a hard time getting it right. Most times shell is hard to peel. Figured was over cooking.
