Thank you for the video. We had a bday party and put on our first shrimp boil and I used your video as my guide. I made notes on your times and all turned out great. We did 2 big loads and also did some steamer clams. I impressed everyone. Myself included. Not to mention BBQ chicken breast and veggie burgers for those that don't like sea bugs. LOL
Can i ask a few questions, 1. is this a traditional dish in the South? 2. can you use the water like a soup or does it taste bad or its just not the done thing? 3. did you make that sausage and is it spicy?. Thanks, Moose Down Under.
+mounty27 Shrimp boils are common down here yes because its so readily available and cheap compared to what we pay for it up in Minnesota. I asked Melissa if they ever use the boil liquid for anything else like soup etc. She said that you could but no one ever does. She also said that it makes an excellent weed/grass killer. I did not make the sausage, I bought it at walmart and we do not like things real spicy so I got the regular smoked sausage. You could add spicy sausage, you could add cayenne pepper to the boil also. The recipe called for 2 tablespoons of cayenne but we hate the heat so I omitted that. I hope those answers helped. Thank you. Joe
Wow Yum! What was in the boil seasoning. Probably don't have it in Oz, but could make it up. Sounds great for a prawn boil. traditionally we don't add any thing to the water we add after the prawns are cooked. But as I said. Yum!
What good cooking show dont show the chef eating it and rubbing it in on how good ot is so we want to jump through the screen and take it from them hahahaha Sounds awesome, will have to give it a try.
+Ron Larimer This was the first time I ever used ice. I am not sure if it helped or not because I had never used that type of seasoning before but the end result was very good. Thank you.
+crumb9cheese Of course not, this is the south. You boil it, you peel it and you eat it. I guess you could do it yourself as you were peeling it but no we do not and the other boiled shrimp I have had with others down here they did not either. Thank you. Joe
Best tip I have gotten.. when you cook a LARGE boil for a large group of people, go buy yourself the smallest "hard-plastic" swimming pool at Fred's, DG, or Wal-mart. Put it on top of a picnic table and pour all of your boil into it once its done. Spread it around.. Everyone can gather around and fill their plates. Once your done, rinse it off with a hose pipe and save it for next time. Ahh-eee
+Rob Donaldson Thats actually a great idea, no chance of things falling off the newspaper onto the ground and it would contain everything. Thanks for the tip Rob. Joe
How many people did this feed?
Looks awesome. I love Shrimp Boil. I didn't know about the ice part. Thanks for sharing sir.
Thanks for sharing, Joe & Melissa! Looks like a great, tasty meal. Enjoy!
Another meal where you made me hungry!! I love shrimp and of course corn, potatoes and sausages!

Didn't know about the ice thing.
I'll try that next time. Thanks. :)
I didnt either. And i went to many low country boils in southeast Georga.
Brilliantly done!
Tried your recipe and it came out great. Had to settle for the cheap shrimp, Gulf shrimp was $16 /lb. Came out good.
How did you reheat after icing? or did the ice not cool it off that much?
+bravoleader27 Even after icing it still was almost too hot to touch. It did cool it down but not alot. Thank you.
Oh ok thank you! I really enjoy your videos!
Oh, I wish I am over there helping you and Melissa eat this ....yuum! LOL
Hey Joe, as per your video.... what type of seasoning did you use?
I tried it and I loved it... everyone else seemed to like it too. Thanks for the receipe!
Yum. Next time let me know and I'll drive from Miami to Louisiana just for a taste lol.
Debora Pettigrew this isn’t a true Louisiana boil ! Close but not quite it !

Thanks Joe, you were spot on. It's funny, as i watched this vid i was boiling Yabbies for a YT video down under. lol. Cheers Moose
Looks great!

thanks brother, love your work.
Had that exact same meal for lunch on Thursday. That is some good eating.
But doesnt the Ice make the food cold? Do you have to reheat it? Or the heat stays in the food and just cools the water?
Ice doesn't make the food cold at all. It just bring the temperature down from about 212 to a soaking temp which is around 150-160..still pretty hot
Love that boil. Some good eating for sure Joe.
Damm joe you cook like your cooking for a army. Lol I don't know how you stay so thin. Awesome looking meal.
+Charlie Ice SMC It usually takes a couple days to get it all eaten but since its shrimp its just as good cold as it was warm. Thank you. Joe

Everything in Louisiana looks good
Awesome cooking man!!!
Damn, that looks real good Joe!
I wanna do this! What is the seasoning?
Its called Cajun Land
Instead of ice, I drop in two frozen 2ltr bottles of water. My water stay consistent for the next batch.
One of my favorite outdoor meals to fix along with mud bugs. I do not ice them though just drain and pour onto news paper.
+Ron Larimer This was the first time I ever used ice. I am not sure if it helped or not because I had never used that type of seasoning before but the end result was very good. Thank you.
Looks good dude!
That looked absolutely gross! NOT!!!! Nice work Joe!
Yummy yummy
Did u take out the poop line in the shrimp
+crumb9cheese Of course not, this is the south. You boil it, you peel it and you eat it. I guess you could do it yourself as you were peeling it but no we do not and the other boiled shrimp I have had with others down here they did not either. Thank you. Joe
Lol the south. That cracked me up. My parents always did. Guess its diff out yalls way. I live in north florida lol. Looks good
@@NorthernSeclusion I'm from the Lake Charles area and we always cleaned out the vein. That's why you make the cut on the back.
