Cajun Shrimp Boil for Dinner Recipe Video
Cajun Shrimp Boils are a favorite easy Saturday night cook up at the Stokes’ house. Boiled Shrimp are certainly great hot, but I also like them the next day in a salad. We also have a great tasting Cocktail Sauce recipe and video so you can make your own cocktail sauce.|nShrimp Boils are a great southern tradition. In southeast like Georgia and the Carolinas, they call it a Low Country Boil. With a gathering of family or a large group of friends, people will fire up a propane burner and a gigantic pot of seasoned water and literally throw in anything that is good to boil in water; onion, garlic, potatoes, corn on the cob, hot dogs, andouille sausage, whole artichokes, and many more that I just can’t even think of right now – oh yes and don’t forget the shrimp, crabs, and crawfish.

GETTING READY
