YUM!!! That looks so good! We have some friends who moved here from New Orleans. I love going to their house. Shrimp boil, gumbo...you name it they make it.
Wonderful! Where do you get Old Bay seasoning?
I love shrimp boils and just realized that we haven't had one this summer..... I'm thinking this might be a good tailgate event in the next few weeks!
Thanks for the inspiration!
