New Point Comfort Shrimp Boil Recipe

First open a good beer! Drink half, add the other half to the boil right before water begins to roll

Fill a big pot with 3 quarts of water

add one bag of Zattarans crab boil, one lemon quartered and squeezed, 2 cloves of (smashed!) garlic sliced, one tablespoon celery seed, one teaspoon Cayenne, 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar, one teaspoon of sea salt, one teaspoon celery salt, one tablespoon of dehydrated onion flakes, and a splash of liquid smoke!

Bring to a rolling boil. Right before boil add the other half of your beer.

Add up too 4 Lbs. of (Here's the key...) Medium or Large raw shrimp thawed - shell on (more or less and they will suck!)

Boil for a minute and a half or until lightly pink then immediately strain into a colander. Dump the entire contents of the boil into the colander spices and all!

Let cool.

Put one tablespoon of old bay into a gallon Ziploc and empty the shrimp/boil spices into the Ziploc and toss. Refrigerate.

Do not let shrimp cool down in the boil water!!!!!!

Enjoy!

Sounds great! But I'm not too sure about adding the other half of my beer AFTER I ALREADY DRANK IT!!?? So what, do you pee it into the mixture? Me thinks N.A. has been drinking beer while posting on the blog. :)
