05. “Baked” Cajun Shrimp Boil

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 teaspoon of avocado oil
  • 1-pound baby red potatoes
  • 3 ears of organic corn, each cut to create 3 to 4-inch-wide pieces
  • 1/4 cup butter (melted)
  • 8 organic garlic cloves (chopped into baby pieces)
  • 2 tablespoons organic seafood seasoning
  • 1-pound wild large uncooked shrimp (peeled and deveined)
  • 1-pound of your favorite organic sausage
  • 2 lemons (sliced)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh organic parsley leaves (but dried works too if that’s all you have)
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ground pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Place the potatoes in a large stainless-steel pot. Cover the potatoes with water and add some salt.
  • Bring the pot to a boil and cook until just tender and parboiled (about 10 minutes).
  • Then, stir in the corn during the last 5 minutes of cooking time (drain the potatoes and corn well).
  • In the meantime, preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Lightly oil a baking sheet with the avocado oil using a paper towel to spread the oil lightly.
  • In a small bowl, combine melted butter, garlic, salt, pepper, and seafood seasoning.
  • Place potatoes, corn, shrimp and sausage in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet, and then, stir in butter mixture. Gently toss to combine (but be careful because it splatters).
  • Place the pan in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes (or until the shrimp are opaque and corn is tender).
  • Serve with lemon wedges and parsley. It pairs perfectly with an organic green salad.
