Recipe: Shrimp Boil

My wife asked me to share this recipe, because it's one of our favorites. Her shrimp boil is really easy, fast, delicious, nutritious and low-cal. Every time I've eaten this dish while watching a Duke basketball game, my team has won.

SHRIMP BOIL

Fill a 5-qt pot to a little more than ½-full of water. Add a bottle of beer. Turn heat up fairly high. Before it comes to a boil, add these spices: 5 bay leaves, 3 tsp oregano, 2 tsp rosemary, 1 tsp thyme, ¼ tsp red pepper flakes, 5 cloves chopped garlic, 2 tsb olive oil, and ground pepper and salt to taste.

Peel and chop a large onion and a large sweet potato into 1-inch chunks. Husk and half 2 ears of corn. After pot starts to boil, add the veggies.

After contents have been boiling for 10-15 minutes, check sweet potato. When tender, add 2 lbs shrimp (in shell, any kind fresh or frozen). Stir, put lid on pot and remove from heat for 3 min. If shrimp meat is cooked white, stir again and drain. Makes four servings. Serve with a side of your favorite steamed green vegetable and your favorite cocktail sauce.

Killer Cocktail Sauce: 1 cup ketchup, 1-4 tsbs refrigerated grated horseradish (not creamed) to taste (How sharp and tangy do you like it?), juice from 1/2 squeezed lime, 2-3 shakes of Worcester sauce and a dash of Tabasco. Stir and refrigerate. (This stuff gets better with age.)

You'll need a couple bowls to collect the shrimp shells and plenty of napkins—this is a "get-your-fingers-dirty" meal.
