Notes
- You can use any size shrimp you like. Just make sure they are peeled and deveined for easy eating!
- Make sure to use mini potatoes.
- We take the corn out of the pot for two reasons. First, so it doesn't over cook. Secondly, if you leave it in the pot, it might develop some odd flavors from the shrimp and/or andouille.
- Adding extra ingredients to this will change the cooking times.
- If you would like something to dip the shrimp into, melt 8 Tablespoons (1 stick) of salted butter with the juice from half a lemon.
- While shrimp doesn't heat up well, everything else does!
