Ingredients
Cooking Directions
In a large pot, combine the water, the juice from the lemon halves (you can add the rinds too) the boil, the bay leaves and 1/2 tablespoon of the salt. Bring to a boil, add the corn, and cook for 5 minutes. With a skimmer, remove the corn from the boiling liquid, put it in a shallow bowl and let it cool completely.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, mustard, lemon juice, hot sauce, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, the black pepper and garlic. Whisk to blend well.
In a large salad bowl, combine the corn, shrimp, basil, onion, tomatoes and bell pepper. Add the dressing and toss to mix. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours before serving.
1 tablespoon of bay seasoning may be substituted for the Crab Boil if you cannot find it.
