This was tonight's dinner - Shrimp Boil. It was
delicious. Not overly hot as I didn't use a ton of
small chiles in the boil mixture. But I served it with
hot sauce (there is always at least 9 bottles on the
table).
It was delicious. I should've used larger shrimp. The
only complaint really.

NOTES : Risa's notes:
I am able to get really good local corn - unusual
varieties - and I use that in this dish. Makes for a
more interesting dinner. Use what you can get but make
sure it is really fresh. Do not use frozen corn on the
cob in this dish.
If you wish, make some baby red potatoes with this
too. Place them in the boil mixture first, cook for
about 18 minutes and then add the corn, then the
shrimp. Drain well and serve a little of each to
everyone. I made no potatoes.
