Shrimp In A Bag Recipes

Steps:

• Fill a very large stockpot fitted with a basket insert with about 8 quarts of water, or about halfway full. Squeeze lemons into the water, tossing the halves in too. Add onions, chiles, thyme, garlic, 1 2/3 cup seafood seasoning, 6 teaspoons kosher salt, and bay leaves; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Stir potatoes into the pot and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. Next, add the sausage and corn; cook another 5 minutes, making sure everything stays covered with the liquid. Add the clams and boil until they open, about 8 minutes. Toss in the shrimp and shut off the heat. Cover the pot and let the shrimp steep in the flavor for 10 minutes, adding the crab in the last 5 minutes (press them into the liquid).
• Drain and spread the crab, shrimp, sausage, clams, corn, potatoes, and onions out on a newspaper-covered table or on 3 large serving trays. Sprinkle with a dusting of Old Bay® or provide for individual use.

Steps:

• Place parchment paper on flat surface, fold down 1 inch on each side using long sides, so you now have 10x20. Next place 12 shrimp in center of paper in a wheel formation. Sprinkle with 1/2 tsp. celery salt. Sprinkle with 1/4 tsp. black pepper.
• Cut onion into 4 equal parts, place 1 divided part on top of shrimp. Cut celery stalks into 2 inch section and then in half lengthwise, place 2 pieces on top of shrimp next to onion pieces, 1 onion 1 celery and so forth. Cut lemon into wheels about 3/8-inch and then cut in half, place 1 piece on each side of onion/celery. Fold paper down from top, and up from bottom, fold corner to corner and fold under each end.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. If ready to cook place on cookie sheet. Open each baget slightly and place 1 Tbsp. water into each. Bake on middle rack for 8-10 minutes. (Can be prepared ahead of cooking for up to 2 days and held at 45 degrees F in your prefer.)
