Description

What's for dinner? A big ol' heap of Louisiana, in the form of potatoes, corn, and shrimp. It's all here, it couldn't be easier, and dipping everything in the spicy sauce while you sip a cold beer is pretty much the perfect thing to do on a steamy summer evening.

Ingredients

1 lemon, quartered
5 tablespoons Creole or Cajun seasoning
2 1/2 teaspoons cayenne, divided
2 Turkish bay leaves or 1 California
4 garlic cloves
8 small boiling potatoes (about 2 inches)
4 ears of corn, shucked and halved
1 1/2 pounds large shrimp in shell
1/3 cup ketchup
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 1/2 tablespoons bottled horseradish

Directions

  1. Squeeze lemon juice into 4 qt water in a 6- to 8-quart pot, then stir in lemon quarters, Creole seasoning, 2 teaspoon cayenne, bay leaves, garlic, potatoes, and 2 tablespoons salt (omit salt if it is the first ingredient in seasoning).
  2. Bring to a boil, then simmer, partially covered, until potatoes are almost tender, 10 to 12 minutes.
  3. Increase heat to high, then add corn and simmer, partially covered, 4 minutes. Stir in shrimp and cook until just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, stir together ketchup, mayonnaise, horseradish, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon cayenne.
  5. Drain shrimp, potatoes, and corn and serve with sauce.
