I have made this numerous times and, if my husband had his way, I would make it once a week. Its super easy to make and absolutely delicious. I add crab legs to it once in a while and its amazing.

Easy and delicious. You can change up the type of seafood too if you like, such as mussels or even crabs. I did not add the chili because my husband is not a fan of spice foods.

Let me add my praise to the other reviewer's and thank them for thier ideas. For the broth I used a combo of Chicken broth, Seafood broth and 2 bottles of clam juice. When I added the corn, it was not covered, so I microwaved (hot water and added it to the pot. I put the garlic and (dried thyme in a bouquest garni bag to eliminate straining the sauce. The timing on this recipe was completely accurate! The taste sublime!

I did add a serrano and a jalepeno, but when broth was finished, I tasted it and thought it was spicy, but just right, so I removed them from the broth (as a reviewer suggested - Thanks!
All in all a really delicious dish. Cannot wait to make for the family!!!

This was extra tasty! Made this twice and substituted the Old Bay seasoning (not a fan with a spicy Cajun style seasoning plus two more serrano chilis (we like it hot. I also sprinkled some of the seasoning on the finished product to give it an extra boost. Any time we mention shrimp boil, our friends seem to come out of the woodworks! Tried with lemons in and lemons out, folks liked both versions. Also instead of the andouille sausage, I used hot link sausages (Hillshire yum, yum! This is a staple for our family gatherings.

I recommend not placing as much lemon as called out in the recipe. A bit over powering. In additon the lemon with the corn just didn't taste as well as what I have fixed before.

Recipe was great!!!. I did double up on clams, used headless tiger prawns instead of headed and 1 entire bunch of thyme. Added additional 2 tablespoon of kosher salt (in addition to regular salt and 1/2 bottle of rine wine. Would used smaller but whole potatoes next time. Again, this was fantastic.

I was so excited to try this recipe when I saw it the other day. In my preparation I discovered that my seasoning was nothing to scream at. I was disappointed at the way that the seasoning did not seem to penetrate the food as I had hoped. It may have been my lack of experience, but for my purposes this boil didn't make the cut. I imagine that I will look for another cajun recipe for my next boil. The newspaper was novel, and it made eating easy and fun.

I've made this every summer since I've seen the recipe. It's a great hit at bbqs. I always use chicken broth instead of water to add more depth to flavoring. I've even substituted a cup of chicken broth for beer. Wow, the taste intensifies then. Most time I use baby yukon potatoes to avoid cutting potatoes, plus baby potatoes cook fast for the recipe and doesn't get messy. Sometimes I add the lemon juice or just add it to the large bowl for others to squeeze on their own lemon juice. Taste is key here, I always taste the broth to make sure it has enough flavoring otherwise it will taste bland. This is great with a good beer like Samual Adam's Summer Ale! Enjoy you won't be disappointed, plus its easy!

I anticipate this will be good as I am preparing it now. However, Tyler you said add the onion to the broth and then when you drain it, you also added onions in the final dish. Nevertheless, I can place foods where they belong.
You do need more salt in the broth and since we love garlic, I put extra garlic in the basket.
Can't wait to taste this.
I used the shells from the shrimp in the broth, too. Specialty sausages run expensivein my neighborhood so I used smoked sausage. The next time I will use the Mississippi sausage that I found in a ma and pa store.
