Louisiana “Shrimp Foil”
This is quick way to take a culinary trip to Louisiana for a shrimp boil but won’t take quite as long. This is delish!
- 1 lb shrimp (if frozen, thaw and drain first)
- 1 lb andouille sausage, sliced
- 12-16 baby red potatoes, halved or quartered
- 8 mini ears frozen corn
- 1/2 lemon
- 1 stick butter, cubed
- 2 tbsp Old Bay seasoning
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp salt
Cut 4 rectangles of aluminum foil and set aside. Heat 1/2″ water and 1 tsp salt until boiling; add potatoes, then corn, and cover for 10 minutes. Remove with slotted spoon and divide equally onto foil rectangles, followed by butter cubes and garlic, then sausage and shrimp. Squeeze lemon juice over each packet and sprinkle evenly with Old Bay. Wrap each packet securely and place on baking sheet. Bake at 400 for 20 minutes. Allow to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Daily Prompt: Bottle
My emotions and feelings you can find in a bottle. Yeah as a man sometimes I keep stuff there. You know we aren’t always good at sharing and that sort of thing. Putting a cap on that bottle keeps everything inside, makes life less messy. You know it harms the person and the people they love when they keep things bottled up. However it’s what many people do. I even preach its OK to share the spiritual and emotional load with others but I suck at practicing that. Bottles come in handy for drinking stuff too so you can handle your life that way too.
