One of our most popular tailgates of last football season was our Shrimp Boil. We love finding tailgating food that will feed a crowd and this recipe was incredibly easy. It also requires minimum equipment so it is super easy to assemble, cook, and pack back up.
We bought our Loco Cooker setup originally for our annual Derby party. I realized at that time that it would be super easy to set up at our tailgate. You then just need your propane tank and a pair of heat resistant gloves. We have a few pairs that we use but prefer long ones in case of any splash up.
A few tips for perfecting your low country or shrimp boil for tailgating:
- You can fill up your pot for transport ahead of time so long as you can keep it from moving. Otherwise, you may want to grab multiple gallons of water to fill at your tailgate.
- Minimize your prep time at the tailgate by cutting your corn and peeling and deveining your shrimp ahead of time.
- Newspaper is most often used but you can also use parchment paper as a substitute.
- Keep an eye on the shrimp, it will cook incredibly fast!
