Southern shrimp boil recipe HELP!

[Bbr]

Boys. I need a sharp recipe for a southern boil. Changing it up this year and will be introducing something different to friends and family for christmas. I need to know the key spices and what not also (Keep in mind I'm in Australia so hard to get access to pre-packed seasoning). Ive done a bit of research but i thought the boys from SBR could hit me up instead.

I've got access to some fresh large prawns & crabs. Defintely keen to throw some corn and sausages in there. Am i missing any essential ingredients?

A quick write up/ recipe + method of cooking would be appreciated.

Bail me out boys. Merry Christmas all.

SOUTHERN SHRIMP BOIL

2 cloves garlic, smashed 1 lemon, sliced 1 sm. onion, peeled and quartered Shrimp boil seasoning mix (recipe below) 1 1/2 to 2 lb. medium shrimp in a 4-6 quart pot, combine 2 quarts water, garlic, lemon, onion and shrimp boil seasoning mix. Cover and bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes. Bring water back to boil; add shrimp. Cover and take off heat. Let stand until shrimp shells are completely pink and shrimp are white in center (about 3 minutes for medium size shrimp). With a slotted spoon, transfer shrimp to a serving platter. Poaching liquid may be strained and store in refrigerator or freezer for use once more. SHRIMP BOIL SEASONING MIX: 4 bay leaves 1 tbsp. black peppercorns or coarse pepper 1 tbsp. salt 2 tsp. cayenne pepper 1 tsp. celery seed 1 tsp. whole cloves 1 tsp. mustard seed 1 tbsp. allspice 1 tsp. dry thyme leaves Combine all ingredients. One recipe will season 2-3 quarts of water; enough to cook 2-3 pounds of shrimp.

Bbr, very noble endeavor. the world apparently understands that few places can compete with the southern united states in regards to food.
