Cajun Shrimp Boil

salt (to taste)

thyme

corn,

(76 g) butter

(12 g) Creole Seasoning

(6 g) minced garlic

(1 g) thyme

onion, (sliced (optional))

(453 g) shrimp, (peeled and deveined)

(340 g) Andouille Sausage

salt and pepper, (to taste)

lemons,

cilantro, (chopped, for garnishing)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Then spray a sheet pan with a nonstick spray, and set aside.

Fill a large pot with water, season with salt then add the potatoes, and thyme sprigs. Cover and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook about 8-10 minutes or until tender. Potatoes should be firm. Add corn and cook for 3-5 minutes. Drain water.

In a small pan, combine butter, Creole seasoning, garlic, and thyme. You may also add onions.  On medium-low heat, saute them for 30-60 seconds and remove them from heat.

Add the Creole butter sauce to the shrimp, potatoes, and corn and give it a stir until everything is evenly coated.

Line all the ingredients in a single layer on a baking sheet and add the Andouille sausages as well.

Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and Creole Seasoning.

Bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until shrimp is pink and cooked through.

Garnish with sliced lemon and chopped cilantro. Serve with Creole butter sauce on the side.

Divide between 3-4 packets of aluminum foil. Fold edges of foil up around the food to close the packet, for heat retention, and to keep the liquids in.

Place on a preheated grill over medium-high heat for about 8 minutes per side.

Serve immediately garnished with lemon wedges.

Really a great recipe! I've been trying for the longest to get a crab house vibe. I tried to get the fifth star on but it will only let me do four.

Omg great sauce excluded the old bay because of the spice. Added orange juice because I didn’t have fresh Lemmon juice. Not quite the whole shabang but it works
