Shrimp and Clam Boil Recipe with Sausage

It’s here, FINALLY!! I’ve been waiting since January for college football to come back around and I could not be more ecstatic because that means I get to whip up this shrimp and clam boil. There is nothing like watching football on a Saturday all day with good friends and a whole lot of food to graze on!

Shrimp boils are one of those comforting recipes that is so hearty and so filling but I’m not kidding when I say you could literally eat it all day long. It’s kind of like soup to be honest. Shrimp and clam boils are usually a bit spicy as well which I think makes it that much better!
