Sweet Potato Shrimp Boil with Baked Hush Puppie Muffins

   In lue of our fast coming move to Louisiana I wanted to try my hand at a boil before I got there... let me just start by saying I am not from the South so all my lovely southern friends don't judge me ; ) I was determined to make the classic boil healthier so it wouldn't be a cheat meal. It came out great!! Not too spicy and definitely hit the spot!!



Ingredients: 
- 2lb of uncooked peeled & cleaned tail on Jumbo shrimp (Frozen)
- 2 ears of corn cut in half
- 1 small sweet potato cut into 1/2 inch cubes
- 1 Zatarain's Boil Packet
- 1/2 cup of lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 /2 quart of water

Biscuits Ingredients:
- 1 egg
- 4 tablespoons of water
- Pre- packaged hush puppie mix

Directions:
- Preheat oven to 200 F 
- Fill large pot with water, salt,  lemon juice, boil packet, and cayenne pepper
- Bring to a boil
- Mix all ingredients for hush puppies together
 - Spray muffin pan with non stick spray & scoop HP mix into each tin filling 3/4 of the way
- Push mix down to flatten
- Place in the oven & bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown on top
- When water is almost to a boil add corn and potatoes
- Bring water to boil and add shrimp
- Boil for 3 minutes
- Turn off burner and let boil sit for 15 minutes
- Pop muffins out of the pan
- Drain boil into a large strainer
- Serve & Enjoy
