  1. The absolute best way to boil shrimp...my 3rd time making it and love, love, love it...perfect shrimp everytime...thanks for a great recipe
     
  2. I love this recipe! I made it twice while our family and another family were sharing a house at the beach for a week. I was concerned about the shrimp sitting in the hot liquid (that they would get tough) but it worked out great! I added a little more old bay then called for but it was great!
     
  3. This recipe makes great shrimp cocktails! I will use this from now on. Thank you for sharing! --Marla, AZ

I'm a happily married father of four. I love to cook for my family as much as I can. But is hard when you have a wife that cooks as much as mine. Some of you might know her as The Recipe Fairy. It is also hard for me being a law enforcement officer. But when I get the chance I enjoy myself for I am cooking for my love ones.
