I enjoyed my first Shrimp Boil at my mother-in-law’s house one summer at a family gathering, when she dumped pots of scrumptious seafood right out onto a patio table lined with newspapers. It was awe-inspiring! A dinner I will never forget!
Gather your ingredients so that you have everything close at hand on the counter or table.
In large stockpot, bring 5 quarts water to a boil. Add potatoes, kielbasa, and seasoning. Cover and bring to a boil. Cook for five minutes. Add corn and green olives and cook for another ten minutes. Stir in shrimp and parsley and cook for an additional 2 minutes until shrimp turn pink.
Remove vegetables and meat with a strainer and place in a large serving bowl or platter. Or spread out on a table lined with newspaper or freezer paper. Sprinkle with additional seasoning if desired. Serves 6-8.
To make Seafood Seasoning Mix, combine all ingredients in an airtight jar and shake to mix thoroughly. Keep sealed until ready to use.
