Mini Shrimp Boil Recipe is easy and delicious
When I relocated to the Midwest over a decade later, I was tasked with bringing a taste of my home to a local neighborhood cookout. So I decided to replicate the seafood boil. There is always a wonderful feeling of comfort and love whenever I get a chance to go back and visit.
When I can't, I like to feed my nostalgia monster with this recipe. The mini Shrimp boil recipe is perfect for singles or for a party.
