wonderful, wanted to let the lady know what shrimp boil is--can buy it under the brand name "Zatarains". it is spices you will put in the water that you boil your shrimp in. it is kind of hard to understand us southern cooks sometimes. the cooking is wonderful and sometimes you just gotta be from the south to understand the recipe. hope this helped.

I omitted the olives because my husband does not care for them so I just added some salt to take place of the the saltiness of the olives! Turned out great!
