How to Make Shrimp Boil in a Skillet
Par-cook potatoes in microwave. Cut into halves. Meanwhile saute onions 4 minutes. Add in potatoes and saute 3 minutes. Add sausage to other side of pan and cook, tossing occasionally until sausage is starting to brown slightly, about 3 minutes. Add in garlic and saute 1 minute. Add butter, shrimp and corn to skillet. Sprinkle in seafood seasoning and thyme and season with S&P. Cook 2 minutes. Toss in spinach and cook until spinach has wilted and until the shrimp is cooked through. Finish with lemon and parsley.
Tips for This Recipe
Use fresh corn in the summer or frozen corn when you can’t get fresh in the winter. Stick with turkey or chicken sausage for a healthier option than beef/pork. Skip the spinach if it’s just not your thing in shrimp boil. If you don’t like heat use a milder seafood seasoning and mild sausage. Use frozen shrimp (then thawed shrimp) instead of the thawed kind from the meat counter. Or of course if you can get fresh caught that would be amazing. Let ingredients brown a bit so you get more flavor! Don’t stir too much.
