LOUISIANA BOILED SHRIMP (FRANK DAVIS)
If you want the best, ya gotta go with the best. Start with a good base line, then doctor the recipe the way you like it. I believe once a wheel is invented, roll it. You may want to adjust some spokes or change some, but the wheel is already invented, so go with the winner and roll with it! Here's da creole, cajun cook man..he has been doing this a long time, and doesn't mind sharing what comes out the best. This recipe is his, and here is his site to check out da rest.. and to buy his seasonings that you need http://www.frankdavis.com. I reduced his original recipe for 20 pounds of shrimp down to 5 pounds. This came out perfect for everyone! The only other thing I can say is to get out your CD of Steve Riley & The Mamou Playboys - Bon Reve - crank it up and "Laissez les Bon Temps Roulez" (Let the Good Times Roll) Appreciez mon ami!

Steps:
- Combine and prepare ingredients.
- Set up a high pressure burner, propane tank, and a 40 quart/10 gallon pot.
- (I have an old Miller Lite Keg,16 gallons, with the top cut out, and an old Ford hub cap to cover the hole, that I use.).
- Add the water to the pot and bring it to a roiling boil.
- When the water is ready, drop in the salt, cayenne pepper, onions, garlic, lemons, Frank's seafood boil.
- Boil together all the seasonings ingredients for about 15 minutes to create a rich seafood-boiling stock.
- Put the potatoes in the pot, let the water come back to a boil, and boil the potatoes for 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, put the corn into the pot, let the water come back to a boil, and boil them for 5 minutes.
- This technique is known as "back-timing" and is used to make sure every ingredient in the pot comes out perfectly "at the same time".
- Now it's time to add the shrimp. put them ALL into the pot, stir them around briskly (I have a small boat paddle -perfect for this and you don't burn you self) let the water come back to a boil, and boil them for exactly two minutes. When that happens: Immediately turn off the fire, remove the pot from the hot burner grate, and drop into the pot - evenly over the shrimp (which at this point will all be floating) the bag of ice. You will notice at this point that all the shrimp will immediately sink to the bottom of the pot! This is when they start picking up the seasoning (that doesn't happen while they are boiling).
- Now let the shrimp "soak" in the spicy water for at least 12 minutes. After that time, you can begin sampling them, like every 5 minutes or so afterwards, until they "spitefully" and perfectly suit "your" taste.
- All that's left to do is to spread newspaper out on the table, remove all the shrimp from the pot, drain them thoroughly, then place them on the newspaper right down the center of the table, along with the cocktail and remoulade sauces.(see my red sauce for boiled shrimp- knock your sox off - but you can still eat the shrimp).
- Mangia! Welcome to summertime in the backyard!
- This recipe can be doubled while still maintaining both the flavor and seasoning intensity. You can use a natural gas hookup to boil seafood in your back yard, but propane creates a hotter flame and brings the water to a boil much faster.
- Whenever you buy a new propane tank assembly specific for boiling, make sure you get one with a "high pressure regulator." the low pressure kind won't give you the intensity of heat you need to boil volumes of water.

SPICY SHRIMP BOIL WITH LEMON BUTTER
In this very spicy, very messy shrimp feast, diners peel their own shrimp, then dunk them in hot sauce-spiked shrimp broth, a bowl of melted lemon butter or both. Many shrimp boils call for adding corn, sausage and potatoes to the pot. This one focuses solely on the shrimp, though feel free to add the other ingredients if you'd like to bulk it up. Crusty bread for serving is a must, both to sop with the last bits of broth and butter, and as a palate-soother, for when the building heat of the cayenne and hot sauce starts to burn.

Steps:
- Bring 6 cups water with the onion, garlic, Old Bay, peppercorns, salt and cayenne to a boil in a large pot. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
- Meanwhile in a small pot, melt the butter. Squeeze the juice from half a lemon into the pot. Stir in shallot, if using, and season butter to taste with hot sauce and salt. Set aside for serving.
- Squeeze juice from the other half the lemon into the large pot, then toss in squeezed lemon half. Stir in 1 tablespoon hot sauce and shrimp. Bring just to a simmer (not a boil), then lower the heat so the mixture continues to simmer for 1 to 2 minutes, until shrimp are bright pink and cooked through.
- Use tongs or a slotted spoon to transfer shrimp to a large serving bowl or platter. Taste shrimp broth and add more salt and hot sauce if necessary.
- Strain shrimp broth into serving bowls. Divide melted butter into small bowls, one per guest.
- To serve, give each guest a bowl of spicy shrimp broth and a small bowl filled with seasoned butter for dipping. Guests should peel shrimp and dunk in broth, butter or both. Serve with bread on the side and plenty of napkins, and a bowl for the shrimp shells.
