Looking for a fun date idea that you can do at home? My husband and I have been wanting to do a shrimp boil for some time. We always heard of people having shrimp boils and so we decided that we would try it out!
I highly recommend inviting another couple to enjoy the fun and tastiness! It was also nice because we split the cost of the ingredients! Shrimp is pretty expensive so this saved some money.
We actually used a big turkey fryer to boil everything outside. As we waited for it to cook, we sat around the boiler in camping chairs listening to music and talking. It was so much fun! And it smelt delicious!
Here is the recipe that we used, which was really yummy!
After it was all done, we laid out some newspapers and poured everything on the table. We also made some homemade cocktail sauce to dip the shrimp in. Here is a quick and easy recipe for cocktail sauce.
We are definitely having another shrimp boil in the near future! We got the shrimp from Publix, which I would recommend. All of their seafood is super fresh!
This date was a little more on the expensive side, but it was worth it! We have tons of leftovers!
