Very Good! I served this over the weekend. The kids looked at me funny as i dumped it all out on a covered table. I left out the beer because hubby is a recovering alcoholic however i am sure it would have made this recipe even better. I also multiplied the recipe x4 to feed 8 very big boys that can put away some food and there was very little left. 5 Stars from my family...Thanks NurseDi

From now on, this is the only way I want to cook boiled shrimp. We thought it was fantastic. I doubled the recipe and had two big pots of shrimp and vegetables brewing on the stove. My family and friends feasted all day. Everything was spicy but not too hot. Thanks Nurse Di. We are already planning another shrimp boil for later in June. Yipeeeee!!!
