I hosted my brother's rehersal dinner in my backyard. I did cooked this wonderful kabob along with complimentary steak kabob. This shrimp boil was the favorite. I chose a larger sized shrimp and did 2 shrimp per stick, which seemed to satisfy everyone. It was an upscale, unexpected dish for a lovely outside occasion.

Loved it! Used Chesapeake Bay from Penzeys Spices, only did shrimp and potato. Butter is a must. Wish I knew where to buy the cute steel basket shown in the pic.
