Shrimp boil is my favorite dish. I make this in many different ways , this is my cheap and easy way and great for the winter. For this recipe I get all my ingredients from ALDI expect the old bay and frozen corn on the cob, and lemons .This is a family recipe but I have changed it to be a smaller and cheaper dish, our traditional recipe calls for an outdoor turkey fryer, in a very large amount. However you can make this on a stove top, or and instant pot, or an indoor turkey fryer , I have made this in all these ways and they are all great.

- 6

At this point make sure everything is covered with the water and make sure your not past your marks in the instant pot you may need to add water or take some out it all depends on how many potatoes and corn you use(skip this step if using a pot on the stove) I was over my line as you can see I had to pour some out.

Cook on steam setting for 12 mins.Then release pressure... add in the frozen uncooked shrimp make sure they are all covered with the water put lid on and let sit for about 3-5 mins till shrimp is done no need to put back under pressure this is how you don’t over cook your shrimp.(steps if using stove bring to a boil after potatoes and corn is done add shrimp, when shrimp is done remove from water immediately to keep the shrimp from over cooking)

Once shrimp is done remove from water immediately with a colander.

Can skip ice step : Traditional way is to clean out your sink and have bag of ice in the sink to cool off the shrimp boil.when after you drain it to keep the shrimp from cooking more (can use a cooler as well) this step can be skip I skip it all the time and just pour the shrimp boil on to a big cookie sheet after u drained all the water off, or I have put down news paper on a table and just put it on that. Most of the time I do the cookie sheet and we eat right off of that.

What the shrimp should look like when done (this can get over cooked fast)
- 13
Note- when adding the shrimp as you see I moved some of the corn up top to get the shrimp all the way under the water you can take some of the corn out or potatoes if needed. Stir a few times and check on shrimp a few times this takes 3-5 mins if that.
