Want to have that Shrimp Boil this weekend? Here’s a foolproof recipe!

Shrimp Boil

Serves 4

INGREDIENTS:

2 onions, halved crosswise

1 head of garlic, halved crosswise

5 whole cloves

3 bay leaves

2 tablespoons kosher salt

1 tablespoon coriander seeds

4 teaspoons yellow mustard seeds

2 teaspoons dill seeds

2 teaspoons whole allspice

1 teaspoon black peppercorns

1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 lemon, halved

5 dashes (or more) hot pepper sauce

2 pounds unpeeled large shrimp

DIRECTIONS:

Combine first 12 ingredients and 8 cups water in a large pot; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer 20 minutes. Squeeze in juice from lemon; add lemon to pot. Add hot sauce and shrimp. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until shrimp are just cooked through, about 5 minutes.

Turn off heat, add 4 cups ice cubes, and steep for 5 minutes. Remove shrimp with a slotted spoon and place on a newspaper-lined baking sheet. Serve with additional hot sauce, if desired.
