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.

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 December 1st! Can you believe it’s only 25 Happy December 1st! Can you believe it’s only 25 days until Christmas? I’m not ready yet!! But I did get my Christmas tablescape ready! 
🎄
I was gifted this beautiful table cloth by @cottonprintclub. It’s 100% cotton, comes in several sizes and colors, doesn’t bleed or shrink when washed. I love the shade of green and it is so beautiful that you can use it all year. 
🎄
I went with a simple tablescape to show off my beautiful plates that I received from @backcountrymercantile. All I added to my table was some garland, candlesticks and of course twinkling lights. Swipe the photo to see my table in the evening. 
🎄

Hi Everyone! I’m done decorating my kitchen and Hi Everyone! I’m done decorating my kitchen and oh my gosh, I love it!! Pink is so fun! I thought I would share with you how I styled my kitchen sink area.
💗
The inspiration for this space came from the stunning pieces that I was gifted from my friend Britni @arcadian.collective. I love her shop! Such timeless, elegant pieces that will last a lifetime.
💗
I received from Arcadian Collective the solid marble Seraphine Butter Bell, Vintage European solid brass Salt & Pepper Mill, Carrara Cielo Marble Stone Serveware and the cutest pink little Christmas candle. Check out my Arcadian Collective highlight for more details on each product. They would make a great holiday gift!

Happy World Kindness Day! This weekend I made my a Happy World Kindness Day! This weekend I made my annual snow jar to place on my shelf in the kitchen. You get a tiny sneak peak of my shelves at the end of the reel. The snow jars are so easy to do and you probably have most of the items on hand. 
💗
For the snow, I used blanket snow. You could also use, sugar or Epsom salt. I like the blanket snow because it’s not messy and it hides the fairy lights battery pack.
💗
The houses are ornaments that I bought at Target. I thought they were Perfect for my pink kitchen. Of course you can use whatever you have on hand. It doesn’t have to be a house and tree.
💗
If you buy fairy lights, make sure they have a timer on them. Trust me that will make life easier. If you don’t like fairy lights, you can use a faux candle. 
Ohhh and have a stack of batteries. I go through more batteries in the month of December then I do the rest of the year!
💗
Items used:
Apothecary jar
Fairy lights with timer
Pink house ornament
Bottlebrush tree
Pink ribbon 

Everything, but the pink ribbon was bought at Target. 
💗
Have fun creating! If you make one, tag me so I can share!!

Happy Monday! Here is a little throwback from last Happy Monday! Here is a little throwback from last years Christmas. I plan on doing green again in the living room. I just think it looks classic, plus I have all the decor already. So no need to buy more.
🎄
But I still do plan on doing pink in my kitchen. I figured I could use some pink everyday pieces that I already have and add pops of pink ornaments and pink little Christmas trees. I plan doing some shopping this week to see what I can find in pink. I’m so excited!! 
🎄
Have a fantastic Monday!

Happy Monday! Sorry I haven’t been on in awhile. Happy Monday! Sorry I haven’t been on in awhile. My husband was sick with the flu, then he passed it on to me. My dog even had an upper respiratory infection. Ugh! It was a rough 2 weeks. Then on Friday I had surgery to remove skin cancer on my chest. I’m sore and I can’t lift or exercise. Anyway, that’s why I have not been on.
🦇
I wanted to give you one last look at my Halloween kitchen before I change it out. Not sure if I’m going to add some Fall or Christmas next. Did you know Christmas is in 63 days? 😳
🦇
So I have been thinking about Christmas colors. The past 2 years I have done green and I love it, however I have always wanted to do a pink Christmas. Just not sure if I can pull it off? I don’t know if I want to go crazy and buy a bunch of pink? What color are you doing this year?
🦇
Have a great day!!
