Cajun Shrimp Boil

Ingredients:

• 4 Tbsp cajun seasoning
• 1 cup Lamb Weston Redskin Salad Dices (#2028)
• 12 Birds Eye Extra Sweet Mini Corn on the Cob (#4655)
• 1 1/2 cup kielbasa sausage, sliced
• 1 lb. Aqua Star Black Tiger Shrimp (#2806)
• 6 Tbsp Kirkland Salted Sweet Cream Butter (#1723), melted and mixed with 1 1/2 Tbsp cajun seasoning

Instructions:

1. First, fill a large stock pot with water and bring to a boil. Add the cajun seasoning, potatoes and corn. Boil for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
2. Then, add the sausage and shrimp and boil until the shrimp turn pink, approximately one minute. You’ll want to watch this closely so the shrimp doesn’t get overcooked.
3. Now, use a colander to drain the water. Pour back into the pot to toss in the butter until everything is coated.
4. To serve, line your table with brown paper bags. Pour the contents of the pot onto the bags, and dig in! Keep the napkins close.
