Grilled Shrimp Boil

July 6, 2016 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 1 Comment

Hi Everyone,

One thing I love, love, love is Cajun food.  Every since my trip to Louisiana I fell in love with Cajun flavors.  One thing I have always wanted to do is make a seafood boil.  I see it on TV all of the time and I tell myself that I have to try that one day.  The only problem is with 2 people that’s an awful lot of food.  So today I decided to make a scaled down version that takes no time to make at all.  I have for you my Grilled Shrimp Boil.

Grilled Shrimp Boil

This dish is so easy to make.  It has cooked shrimp, tender potatoes, chicken Andouille sausage and corn on the cob.  I am so happy how everything cooked so well together.  I was a little nervous about that.  The meal is so filling and pretty low in calorie considering everything that I added to the recipe.  This is the perfect weeknight meal, all you need is a side salad.  I had it with my Tomato & Avocado Salad.

Grilled Shrimp Boil


The first thing I did was cook my potatoes and corn for about 15 minutes.  While that was cooking I prepped the rest of my meal.  In a bowl, I added my shrimp and sausage.  Once the potatoes and corn were done, I added it to the bowl.  I mixed in my cajun season, olive oil and lemon.

Grilled Shrimp Boil

I put my foil packets on the counter and evenly divided the mixture between them all.  It’s like a nice assembly line.

Once everything was on the foil packets, I drizzled it with a little more olive oil, and topped with a slice of lemon and added parsley for color.

Grilled Shrimp Boil

I sealed up my packets and placed on the grill.  You don’t have to make the packets perfect, just be sure it is sealed up so it doesn’t leak and the food steams.

Finally the moment I have been waiting for.  Time to open the packet.  Oh the smell of the seasoning.  I’m so excited.  Wait for it….  here it is.

Grilled Shrimp Boil

Just the perfect amount for good portion control, plus the corn was so tender and the shrimp was perfectly cooked.  The whole dish comes together beautifully.  I just need a Hurricane drink to complete the meal.

Grilled Shrimp Boil

I had the worse time finding raw, uncooked shrimp.  I like to buy Trader Joe’s brand, but they have been out for weeks.  My grocery store has it, but it’s $25 a pound.  I can’t see paying that, especially since I live near the ocean.  Finally I went to Trader Joe’s and they had shrimp, but it was Argentina Shrimp.  I figured I would try it out.  It’s a little more tender then normal shrimp, but that is because it’s more like lobster.  I loved it and it was only $9.99 a pound.  That is more like it.

Well that’s it for me.  Have a great day!

Toodles,

Jennifer

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….
💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.
💖
What do you do to get inspiration?

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

🌿
I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together. 
🌿
Tomorrow I am going to start to share Valentines Day. My dining room is filling up with hearts. It’s so fun. I can’t wait to start sharing. Hope you have a beautiful day!
