What is a southern boil?

In the south there is a large focus on family and friends getting together to spend time together. One of the ways they do that is with a southern boil. Everyone gets together to enjoy a meal of shrimp, sausage, sweet corn, red potatoes, and more. It is a fun way to gather and feast on tasty foods. 

This tradition reminds me a lot of my own family. Being from a large family we don’t always get to see eachother on a regular basis, but when we do all get together it’s usually centered around a large meal. These meals are as much a social time as a meal time and it really brings us closer together.

Souther boils are all about tradition, but we are breaking that tradition a little with this sheet pan shrimp boil by simplifying the process for cooking the food, and reducing the mess! 

What ingredients are in a shrimp boil?

A traditional shrimp boil usually consists of shrimp and other seafood, corn, potatoes, and other veggies, depending on the region the boil takes place. It might contain sausages, crawfish, etc. but my recipe simply consists of:

• Shrimp and Sausage
• Corn and Potatoes
• Onions
• Seasonings

While not completely traditional, this recipe still stays true to what inspired it. In this shrimp boil recipe I use Old Bay seasoning. You can find it in most grocery stores, or find it on amazon here https://amzn.to/2KWNRI1

Shrimp boil in the oven

Shrimp boils are traditionally done in a large pot, often cooked outside over a fire, on the beach, or in a picnic area. I prefer to cook mine in the oven, and on a sheet pan. It is easier. Less mess. And tastes just as great. I start by par boiling my potatoes and corn to get them tender quick, then I put all the ingredients on a baking sheet to finish everything off in the oven. I like these baking sheets from amazon. They have silicon handles, and a good lip to keep all the ingredients on the pan! 

Once everything is on the sheet you just pop it in the oven to bake. I’ll often use parchment paper or a silicone sheet liner in the baking sheet to lower the mess even further.

How much shrimp should I buy per person?

A shrimp boil is about bringing people together around food. The best way to do that is to have lots of it. In my experience the more shrimp the better, but usually a quarter pound of shrimp per person is enough when it’s served with potatoes, corn, and sausage, or other things on the side.
