Heck, we have even done it for thanksgiving before. We use a simple but great dipping sauce recipe that we all love. If anyone likes buffalo wings, try this dipping sauce recipe with your next shrimp boil. 1 part unsalted melted butter and 1 part "Trappy's" Cayenne Pepper Sauce Told you it is simple, but absolutely delicious.

We did this, just as directed, for a send-off-to-law-school party for our son and his friends. We set up long tables in our backyard, covered the tables with plastic red-checked tablecloths, lit candles, turned on the music and started cooking. We ate under the stars and laughed at his college and high school stories until midnight. It takes a bit longer than expected to get it all cooked, so plan for about an hour even though it seems like it would be quicker. Thanks for the printable shopping list!

I'm the only one who would eat this at my house, but will likely make it at some point for a crowd. Thanks so much for the recipe.

I used about 1 tsp each of mustard and coriander, and then 2 Tbsp of old bay, plus a pinch of allspice. I just guessed honestly and it was great.

You have LEFTOVERS?! We've made this using this recipe as a starting point many times and plan to again tomorrow night. We change it up a little here and there according to what is readily available at the time. For instance my husband has gone clamming recently and a friend of his left some various crab boil seasonings here. I usually add celery, too - I thought I went to a crawdaddy boil in Florida once where celery was included, but I could be mistaken. We also use venison sausage because our freezer is overflowing with it! Thanks for the initial guidance! WHAT?! You have LEFTOVERS?!

I pretty much followed your recipe though I had to hunt high and low for the boil in bag and was never able to find the Zatarain's oil. I added a bit of tomato paste, and browned my Kielbasa a bit for some color and texture before throwing it in the pot. Overall, it was a very easy dinner and I look forward to doing it party style. I do have a tip for your readers though. I just finished making shrimp salad with some of the leftovers, with a little advanced planning and a few more ingredients (hot dog rolls, mayo, lettuce, onion and celery, fresh herbs optional [parsley, cilantro, tarragon or dill] tomato optional) you can easily enjoy a lunch of shrimp rolls and sausage on a bun the next day.

It feeds multiple people and is easy after a day of wakeboarding and tubing. I am so glad we found this site for the recipe! This is a camping tradition for us now.
