A few weeks ago on the blog I posted an easy peasy recipe for fresh homegrown tomatoes. I received so much positive feedback asking for more very simple recipes. So, here is a classic for Easy Bolied Shrimp.
Do you have any tricks or secrets to boiling seafood or favorite ways to prepare shrimp? Please do share in the comments below.
Wishing you all a Happy and Easy Sunday.

1. Combine the salt, bay leaves, crab boil, lemon slices, and water in a medium stockpot and bring to a boil over high heat.
2. Add the shrimp and cook for 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and drain. Cover the shrimp with ice. When the shrimp are cool to the touch, drain; discard the ice, lemon, and bay leaves. Place the shrimp in an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use.
