Super Savory Shrimp Boil!

This recipe is easy and is a low calorie diet.  Enjoy!

Ingredients:
  • 1 lb jumbo shrimp
  • 4 corn cobs
  • 1 lb baby red potatoes
  • 2 lemons
  • 1 red onion
  • 4 sprigs of thyme
  • 1/2 cup old bay spice
  • 8 garlic cloves smashed
What to do:
  1. Place 4 ounces of water in a large pot, squeeze 2 lemons inside and put the halves in there too, then add a quartered onion, 8 smashed garlic cloves, thyme, and old bay spice. Bring to a boil then simmer for 5 minutes.
  2. Add your potatoes and cook until tender about 15-20 minutes.  If you quarter them, they cook faster.
  3. Add the corn cobs (halved) and cook for an additional 5 minutes.  
  4. Now add the shrimp and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes with the top on until the shrimp curl and turn opaque.  
  5. Remove the shrimp and veggies from the pot and serve it up with some sliced lemons wedges and a small dish of the broth.
