With tribute to my mother, Martha Boudreaux, and her recent passing on December 14, 2017, this is her Drunken Shrimp recipe that I now share.
Ingredients
  • 1 Cup Butter
  • 3 Bags Delaney’s (Pict-sweet) Chopped Seasoning mix (Celery, onion, bell pepper, parsley)
  • 8 Cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 Tb. Salt
  • 1 Tb. Black pepper
  • 5 Lb. Shrimp, 16/21 count, shell on, no heads
  • 1 ½ Cup Beer or white wine
  • ½ Cup Water or chicken stock
  • 2 Lb. New Red Potatoes, cut into ¼ pieces
  • 1 Loaf French Bread
Instructions
  1. Melt butter in large pot, add seasoning mix, garlic, beer and stock, bring to a boil.
  2. Add the salt and pepper and potatoes, continue to boil until potatoes are just tender.
  3. Add shrimp and cook until shrimp are just pink. Cover and allow to sit for 30 minutes to soak up the flavor.
