How to Have the Perfect Shrimp Boil at Your Vacation Rental
So... What's A Shrimp Boil?
A shrimp boil is a big pot of shrimp, corn on the cob, potatoes, sausage, and spices or herbs all cooked (boiled) together. There are so many variations and ways to customize this meal to your likings, the possibilities are endless! Shrimp boils originate from Louisiana Cajun cooking and are a Southern staple.
Shrimp boils are an excellent way to feed a large family or crowd and if you're not familiar with how we typically enjoy them in the South, we'll explain. Once you have your shrimp boil all cooked up and ready to be enjoyed, cover a folding table with newspaper or a plastic tablecloth, dump the shrimp boil out onto the table, load up your plate, and enjoy!
We have many great local establishments where you can purchase fresh shrimp, these are just a few!
