Country Shrimp Boil Party
Country Shrimp Boil Party | Don’t live by the beach? BRING THE BEACH TO YOU! I live in Arizona so my visits to the beach are few and far between. I grew up in California and am a beach girl through and through. So I decided this year I would bring to beach to me! 🙂 This fun, casual, serve yourself party is the perfect way to entertain! Everything but the boil can be made a day or two in advance.

SHRIMP BOIL | This bucket of Country Shrimp Boil is filled with all the ingredients for a GREAT beach party! From the sausage, mini corn, potatoes to the large sweet juicy shrimp! You can never go wrong serving this Country Shrimp Boil! I am a total beach girl but living in Arizona I don’t get to the beach very often so I create my little version of the beach at home.

This party looks amazing! Love all the décor food and especially the big SAND letters!
This is over the top wonderful! I do a lot of entertaining at the beach and your detailed tablescape has given me a ton of ideas! I am hosting a family reunion next summer so I have pinned several of your photos for reference, thanks so much! Fabulous!

LOVE this idea! Being a Florida gal, I love all things beach. During our “exile” in Philly, I hosted an annual beach party…in January! We had beach chairs, Beach Boys and Jan and Dean music,sand, “beachy” foods, and more. It was the hit party of the season…
Hi Sheryl,
What a fabulous party setting, it looks like so much fun and good food! Hope you have a wonderful week end and thank you so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday.
Come Back Soon!

I’ve got to come back for your Hush Puppies recipe – just for my hubby!
That looks like such a fun party. We don’t live near a beach either, but I grew up in the northeast. I sure do miss it.
Hi Sheryl,
Red, white and blue never tasted or looked SO good!! I am impressed with your presentation, all the time and effort it must have taken and your crafty and culinary talents! This is simply all TOO adorable!

I LOVE all of it!!! Where in the world did you find the awesome boat? It adds just the right touch.
Wow!!! Thanks so much. !!!i made your country shrimp boil recipe tonight and it was amazing!!! Thank you !!!
Hi Jeri,
I’m so glad you liked it. Thanks! 🙂
This party looks adorable! I really like the technique you used on your SAND letters and the A-frame to hold the caramel corn cones. Nice job!
Thanks Chloe, I love designing things for parties. 🙂
So cute! Where did you get the boat from?
Hi Kristina, I bought the boat at Hobby Lobby.
Thank you for such a wonderful party idea! We just moved into our new home and hosted a party for all of our friends. I served everything on your menu, except for the popcorn which I switched out for chocolate chip cookies. As we live in Richmond, Ontario in Canada, we had a bit of an adventure finding the proper pot with basket, but eventually found one at our local Canadian Tire. I quadrupled the recipes as we had over 20 people attending and everything turned out beautifully! Even the dogs were thrilled as they all got a taste of shrimp and sausage. Thank you again for the terrific recipes and decorating ideas! I look forward to recreating more of your efforts!
Hi Kim, THAT’S AWESOME! Thanks so much for sharing your story. 🙂
Where did you find the smaller pails?
I collect them from Target (in the dollar section) and The Dollar Tree Yvette. If you can’t find them there then you can order them fro Oriental Trading.
Hi Kim,
This is beautiful!! What type (galvanized) pail did you use for the cooked food & where did you purchase?
Hi….This is Sheryl. I get my pails from different places. I think the ones I used in this shoot were from Dollar Tree.
Sounds delish! Going to try this today 7/4/2028
WooHoo Ray! Yummy dinner.
