An entire bottle of red wine is the secret to this full-bodied and rich dish.
6/13Shrimp Boil
How do you impart the most flavor in a boil without overcooking the shrimp? Ice! Adding 4 cups of ice cubes to the pot as soon as the shrimp are cooked through allows them to continue to absorb the flavors of the boil without getting tough. For a classic meal, pair with corn on the cob and boiled potatoes, or serve as a starter for a crowd.
