Intrigued, I had to try it…so we had our own little shrimp boil at home. Let me tell you, this stuff is GOOD! It’s called Ron and Jerry’s White Trash Boil (available online at www.ronandjerrys.com), and it packs a unique blend of spices that I haven’t tasted in other mixes. I’m not particularly fond of super spicy seasonings that sacrifice flavor for heat, so I was pleasantly surprised by this awesome mix! You get the best of both worlds here. Even the corn and potatoes soaked in all the goodness.

The men behind the madness: Ron Williams (Birmingham businessman, native of Baton Rouge, and well-seasoned Cajun cook) and Dr. Jerry Kitchens (Birmingham surgeon, outdoorsman, and Honorary Cajun for his love of Louisiana cooking). With beers in hand, these two friends set out to create the best boil ever. Through trial and error, they found that “just right” spice full of flavor with the perfect balance of heat. You’ll want to get some for crawfish and shrimp season (my favorite time of year). Try it, and tell me what you think.
