A large shrimp boilie is a great excuse to gather friends in the backyard, but you can also make it in a large pot on the stove at home. Large shrimp are simmered with smoked sausages, jacket potatoes, corn on the cob, and spices, then the liquid is drained and the contents of the pot are placed in the center of the table where the group has already gathered and a cold beer is waiting. Serve the boilie with hot sauce and lemon wedges for drizzling.

1/3 cup (st.) - 80 ml.
1/4 cup (st.) - 60 ml.
