Get ready for a finger-licking good time with this classic shrimp boil recipe. Made popular in the south, this one-pot summer meal is full of juicy shrimp, smoky sausage, sweet corn and tender potatoes cooked in a perfectly seasoned broth. Not only is this shrimp feast a simple meal to put together as everything cooks in one pot, it’s packed full of flavor thanks to our star seasoning ingredient: OLD BAY® Classic Seafood Seasoning! You can serve this shrimp boil the traditional way by spreading it onto a paper-covered table (with plenty of napkins on hand), or keep things mess free by pouring onto a large serving platter. Serve your OLD BAY® shrimp boil sprinkled with freshly chopped parsley and a squeeze of lemon, a side of garlic butter and Garlic Bread to soak up any extra broth. Shrimp boil is a hearty meal on its own, but for large gatherings or potlucks, make a side of Pasta Salad or potato salad. This mouthwatering meal is sure to have everyone coming back for seconds.
