You probably would have had more shrimp if that monster sized one hadn't eaten so many of the others. :laugh: Nice looking cook Phrasty.

The lady I get my shrimp from purges them over night so I get them fairly clean. If you want to clean & devein them here a vid to show how to do that:

Looks great!
Last time i boiled shrimp in my crawfish boil, they were terrible, the shells stuck to the meat and were extremely hard to peel. A friend who is a caterer said the extra salt in the crawfish boil did it.
I'm glad your turned out so well!!

I do it all the time and I've never had a problem with that... Give it another go! Could just be the batch of shrimp you got.

It's so long since I've done a boil like that. I usually do it outside when the weather is a bit warmer and corn is in season. Nothing stopping folks from getting frozen ears and doing it in the house, though, no matter what the weather is. Looks great! :thumb:

Add a capful of distilled white vinegar per gallon of water in your boil to make any shellfish easier to peel.

Did mine inside since it was just for the wife and I for dinner... But we usually do em outside as well! Always a hit! :thumb:

As a child I learned to eat Craw Fish the Louisiana way.
( 'Pincha Da Tail, and Sucka Da head'.)
His Pron looks great. Love the huge shrimp.
When I do a Low country boil, I also add smoked sausages cut into chunks.
I boil mine with a whole bottle of Zatarans in the water.
Smells strong,taste great.
