Notes
*Please read the article above for complete information, cooking tips, and more.*Ingredient Substitutions
Fresh or defrosted corn cobs will work for this recipe. Buy them already halved for added convenience.
Andouille sausage is preferred, but any Cajun, smoked, or spicy sausage will also work for this recipe. Choose flavor according to taste.
Storing & Reheating Leftovers
Store leftovers in an air-tight container for no longer than 4 days.
To reheat, spread on a sheet pan and cover with foil. Warm in a 350F degree oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until warmed through. I wouldn't recommend reheating this in the microwave.
Choosing Shrimp for this Recipe
Avoid any shrimp that have been farm-raised or have an ammonia-like odor or slimy shells. Those are big red flags to shrimp that may not have been properly handled and could be dangerous to your health, or simply, not the best flavor.
Specifically for this recipe, shell-on, jumbo shrimp is 100% necessary! This recipe cooks the shrimp inside the shell to avoid overcooking.
