Provided by tpogue

Time 2h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

water
2 lemons, halved, plus more for serving
3 bay leaves
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup crab boil seasoning
1/2 bunch thyme, tied together
1 medium onion, quartered
2 Serrano chiles, split in 1/2 lengthwise
1 head garlic, halved
1 pound red new potatoes, medium to large, cut in 1/2
3 ear sweet corn, halved
3 pieces smoked sausage, such as andouille or kielbasa, cut into 1-inch pieces
12 littleneck clams, scrubbed
2 pounds jumbo shrimp with heads and tails
kosher salt

Steps:

  • Fill a huge stockpot, preferably fitted with a basket insert, with about 4 quarts of water. Keep in mind that when you add the solid ingredients the water level will rise, so don't fill the pot up more than halfway. Squeeze the lemons into the water, tossing in the halves too. Add the bay leaves, salt, seasoning, thyme, onions, chiles and garlic. Bring the broth to a boil over medium-high heat and simmer for 10 minutes. You want a very aromatic broth with plenty of salt and spices. Taste it; don't be afraid to make it strong so some of the flavor can penetrate and get absorbed by the potatoes and other ingredients. Adjust seasoning with salt. Add the potatoes to the pot to give them a head start; simmer for 20 minutes. Now add the corn and sausage; cook another 5 minutes, making sure everything stays covered with the liquid. Add the clams and boil for 8 to 10 minutes until they open. Then toss in the shrimp and shut off the heat. Cover the pot and let the shrimp steep in the flavor for 15 minutes. Drain and spread the shrimp, sausage, clams, corn, potatoes, and onions out on a newspaper-covered table. Serve with lemons and plenty of napkins. Recipe Source: Tyler Florence

SHRIMP BOIL WITH CLAMS AND LEMON



Shrimp Boil with Clams and Lemon image

We love eating a great meal outdoors with lots of friends, and one of our favorite summer-time meals is a shrimp and clam boil. It couldn't be simpler, more delicious, or more fun to eat! All of the ingredients get cooked in one pot, and once they're done, you just throw some newspaper down on a table outside, pour the strained contents of the pot onto the newspaper, roll up your sleeves, and dig in! It's always a huge hit with everyone sitting around the table.

SPICY SHRIMP BOIL WITH LEMON BUTTER



Spicy Shrimp Boil With Lemon Butter image

In this very spicy, very messy shrimp feast, diners peel their own shrimp, then dunk them in hot sauce-spiked shrimp broth, a bowl of melted lemon butter or both. Many shrimp boils call for adding corn, sausage and potatoes to the pot. This one focuses solely on the shrimp, though feel free to add the other ingredients if you'd like to bulk it up. Crusty bread for serving is a must, both to sop with the last bits of broth and butter, and as a palate-soother, for when the building heat of the cayenne and hot sauce starts to burn.

Categories     seafood, main course

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large onion, halved
1 head garlic, sliced in half crosswise to expose the cloves
1/4 cup Old Bay seasoning
1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns
1 teaspoon fine sea salt, plus more as needed
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
6 tablespoons unsalted butter (3/4 stick)
1 lemon, halved
1 tablespoon minced shallot (optional)
1 tablespoon Tabasco or Crystal hot sauce, plus more as needed
2 pounds large shell-on shrimp
Crusty bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Bring 6 cups water with the onion, garlic, Old Bay, peppercorns, salt and cayenne to a boil in a large pot. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
  • Meanwhile in a small pot, melt the butter. Squeeze the juice from half a lemon into the pot. Stir in shallot, if using, and season butter to taste with hot sauce and salt. Set aside for serving.
  • Squeeze juice from the other half the lemon into the large pot, then toss in squeezed lemon half. Stir in 1 tablespoon hot sauce and shrimp. Bring just to a simmer (not a boil), then lower the heat so the mixture continues to simmer for 1 to 2 minutes, until shrimp are bright pink and cooked through.
  • Use tongs or a slotted spoon to transfer shrimp to a large serving bowl or platter. Taste shrimp broth and add more salt and hot sauce if necessary.
  • Strain shrimp broth into serving bowls. Divide melted butter into small bowls, one per guest.
  • To serve, give each guest a bowl of spicy shrimp broth and a small bowl filled with seasoned butter for dipping. Guests should peel shrimp and dunk in broth, butter or both. Serve with bread on the side and plenty of napkins, and a bowl for the shrimp shells.

SHRIMP BATHED IN OLIVE OIL AND LEMON



Shrimp Bathed in Olive Oil and Lemon image

A simple but lavish bath of olive oil and lemon juice is the Italian way of showing off superfresh seafood. The key, according to Marcella Hazan, is that the dish should never see the inside of a refrigerator, which changes the texture of the seafood and the flavor of the olive oil. She calls for shrimp in this recipe, but the formula also works with squid, clams and meaty fish fillets.

Time 20m

Yield 8 to 10 servings as an appetizer, 4 to 6 servings as an entree

Number Of Ingredients 6

3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (from 1 to 2 lemons)
2 pounds medium-large shrimp (about 26-30 per pound), peeled and deveined (tails optional)
Flaky sea salt and coarsely ground black pepper
1 large pinch freshly chopped flat-leaf parsley
Torn or sliced crusty bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Bring a pot of water to a boil, preferably not too deep, so you can watch the shrimp as they cook. Pour the olive oil and lemon juice into a baking or serving dish, preferably a white one to show off the colors of the finished dish.
  • Working in a few batches to prevent overcooking, boil the shrimp over high until just firm and opaque, 2 to 3 minutes, removing them to a colander with a slotted spoon. When all the shrimp are cooked, transfer them to the olive oil-lemon bath and gently mix to coat. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. The shrimp should be just covered with liquid; pour in more oil as needed. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
  • Just before serving, taste and adjust the seasonings with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with bread, spooning some liquid over each serving.
