Peel and Eat Shrimp

Ingredients

  • Peel and Eat Shrimp
  • Oh my! How I love boiled shrimp. It's the best fast food you'll ever eat. Ten minutes to cook and you're done. I support local shrimpers and only buy wild harvested gulf shrimp. Serve as an appetizer or main dish.
  • 2 lemons halved
  • 1/2 cup kosher salt
  • 3 tablespoons Zatarain's concentrated shrimp and crab boil
  • 3 pounds wild harvested gulf shrimp unpeeled with tails

Instructions

  • Fill a stockpot two-thirds full of tap water. Add lemons, salt and shrimp boil. Cover and bring to a full rolling boil.
  • Add shrimp, cover and remove from heat. Let sit for 10 minutes.
  • If using frozen shrimp: Add first three ingredients and bring to a boil. Add frozen shrimp, cover and bring back up to a boil before removing from heat. Let sit for 10 minutes.
  • Drain and serve hot or cold with cocktail sauce or Alabama White Sauce.
