Notes: This recipe was written down while preparing it - so all of the measurements were exact. After you make a time or two you can adjust the heat with the shrimp boil. More for hotter - less for milder. Also - this tastes the best when the shrimp comes from Pensacola waters and the crabs from Granddaddy's traps..
