Today Show: New Orleans-Style Shrimp Boil Recipe Ingredients
SORTEDFood took over the kitchen on Today Show to share a recipe they learned on the road. Find out how you can make New Orleans-Style Shrimp Boil. (moonlightbulb / flickr)
This dish was inspired by the classic New Orleans meal of a Crawfish Boil, but this version uses shrimp, which is easier to source around the country. You could substitute bell peppers or another vegetable if you don’t want to use mushrooms or potatoes. Use this recipe as a template and don’t be afraid to tweak it to meet the unique needs of your own kitchen.
