Tips For The Best Shrimp Boil
- Potatoes: Red skin potatoes or Yukon potatoes are your best bet. Cut potatoes into even-sized pieces to promote even cooking.
- Corn: Boiled sweet corn is the perfect complement to all the savory ingredients in your boil. Cut cobs into 2-inch sized pieces.
- Sausage: Turkey Sausage, chicken sausage or any Cajun-style sausage will work. You could also use Polish Kielbasa in a pinch.Kielbasa and potatoes go really well together.
- Seasoning: Old Bay seasoning is a must. Every authentic shrimp boil requires it! You can find it at most grocery stores or online.
- Shrimp: Tail-on, large shrimp work the best. If you can get your hands on tiger shrimp, do it! Raw, thawed, and tail on is the way to go.
