Add a couple of heads of cabbage cut into quarters. They'll soak up lots of goodness.

Mushrooms and onions as well in mine.

Haven't tried the mushrooms yet. I love a big pot of royal reds.

I put enough water to cover the potatoes corn and conecuh. Put about a tablespoon of white vinegar and some old bay seasoning. I bring it to a boil and boil until the potatoes ore done. Throw in the shrimp and bring back to a boil. As soon as it starts to boil again I turn the fire off and let sit about 5-10 min.

gona try that swamp- fire nxt weekend

Y'all need to throw some cheesy bratwurst in after cooking the potatoes for about 15 mins!

Just FYI Billys seafood in Bon Secour will ship fresh shrimp from the gulf. We did this at Christmas, Delish!!!

Shrimp take only about a minute to cook.
I wait til the last minute to throw them in. Lobster and shrimp become rubbery when overcooked.

i will that sounds good .do i need to cut them up or leave whole?

if this was a response to adding cheesy bratwurst then u leave them whole! Sorry for the late answere.

I threw about 4lbs in the water last night with some taters, corn, sausage and Brussel sprouts. I thought that with all of that we would have some to snack on today too. Man my kids put a dent in them and we barely had enough left for a shrimp cocktail.

Mmm

this

I like using zaterans hot (powder kind as well) red skin taters corn on cob couple onions sliced in quarters mushrooms couple lemons cut in halves and two cans dark beer I prefer Third shift lager beer 1lbs of conecuh sausage throw in shrimp or crawfish last min

do not over cook your shrimp. Put them in the boiling water, let boil for 2 minutes and then let soak for 10m minutes then add ice or cold water to stop the boiling process. let them soak in the cool water until you get the taste you like. Boiling too long makes them hard to peel.

I've been putting a stick of butter in the boil and it's helped with peeling. Also, once my veggies are done I pull them out, cut the heat off and then dump the shrimp in to soak for 10 mins. It's worked well this summer.

Ice isnt a bad idea either.
