@Bruce I make the same thing in a big pot of water but instead of red potatoes I use new potatoes from a can, they hold up better plus less prep. The packets will definitely be easier on a grill than cooking everything in a pot of water. The packets also allow a picky eater to fix their packet the way they want.

@Andy S, we often grill shish-kabobs on the boat. We partially cook the new potatoes at home but using canned new potatoes is a great idea that will shorten prep time.

Are you boiling water on the boat? I have considered the option and have a couple of portable stoves but have considered a full shrimp boil to be too much for on the boat.

No I don't boil water on the boat, I'm worried about the pot tipping over and spilling hot water everywhere. I will definitely try the packets though, those are perfect for the boat. The one thing I would add to my packet that is not is the video is Old Bay seasoning, which is a must for me when I have shrimp or just about any other seafood.

New potatoes in the can are already cooked, so all you have to do is warm them up either in the packet or on the shish-kabobs.

Looks good, unfortunately I am allergic to shellfish - used to be able to eat it when I was younger, then my body eventually said no more for you in a bad way. I miss shrimp, lobster, crab, etc.

So I should not mention that I have a source for jumbo gulf shrimp at $4 a pound then?

Nope, have not even tried eating it in years, and don't care to test the waters, it's too painful.

@AZDANSX230HO Bummer having those allergies, living in New England lobster, steamers and oysters are a dining mainstay. Although plenty of red meat consumed too. @Bruce That shrimp source price is WOW low. Living on a farm, we raise/grow a lot of our food, just not poultry or seafood. Eat Well!

@zipper I am allergic/intolerant to Wheat, Dairy, Eggs, Soy, Shellfish, Apples, Bananas, Cantaloupe, etc. So I eat a lot of meat, vegetables, and salads - pretty healthy diet all in all, but a gigantic pain in the ass when we go out to eat, but I have adapted well.

@AZDANSX230HO I can see going out to eat could be challenging when traveling. No gluten, no lactose, no shellfish really limit the menu options. I mostly order steak, potatoes and salad myself when ordering out, not too many disappointing surprises there. Sounds like you have it under control. Keep eating well.:thumbsup:

I wish I would have figured out the food allergy thing a long time ago, felt like crap most of my life, now I feel good almost everyday. I do cheat once in awhile and have a few slices of pizza, I pay for it, but it sure tastes good Lol.

We buy in bulk from the boats along the gulf coast. It becomes much more expensive once it makes its way into a store. Small shrimp are as little as $2.50 per pound. This year we picked up 60 pounds of jumbo from a fisherman who had caught it the day before on our way back from Bimini. He lived near the interstate and brought it to us with sufficient ice to get us home. That worked out great. In past years we have gone to the marinas and taken our ice chest to the boat.

@Bruce I can eat almost anything, if I can not get good seafood, I will choose steak or a good pork butt with a good bark. Living inland, seafood is more expensive.
