The Shrimp Mess

During New Year's our Southern friends introduced us to "The Shrimp Mess", a name they didn't feel was very elegant, but in making this preparation of a Low Country Boil over time with family, the moniker stuck. Whatever you choose to call it, I think you'll agree you can simply call it delicious. Although we reined in this particular Mess, when the warmer months roll around, harness an outdoor picnic table, flood it with newspaper and pour out the whole lot and enjoy!
