1950s Better Homes and Gardens Shrimp Boil

In a large pot (at least 6-quart size), add all spices and seasonings to water. Bring to a boil. Add shrimp and bring back to a boil. Simmer 5–8 minutes or until shrimp have turned pink and are floating on the surface. Drain in colander in sink.

Let cool in the refrigerator, or for quicker cooling, in the freezer for a short time.

Plate with celery. Serve with Heinz Zesty Cocktail Sauce (can add extra fresh lemon juice and horseradish) or Heinz Cocktail Sauce and/or melted butter mixed with minced or pressed garlic.

This has a very subtle, elegant flavor to it. People don’t mind shelling their own if they can eat all they want!
