Is it a broth? Can I make it without the shrimp boil?

I need a couple ideas for when my domineering parents come over on the 23rd. (UGH!)

I was thinking your recipe and then maybe the bacon olives one I saw on here and possibly using the egg yolks and finding mini sausage patties at the store to replicate egg McMuffins (some without the muffins).

What do you think?

Shrimp boil is a seasoning to spice up shellfish such as shrimp, crab, crawfish. It comes in a spice bag with peppercorns and other tasty things. It also comes in a pungent liquid, which I think this recipe uses. I like the liquid! Should find one or the other in the spice aisle of the grocers.

Thanks CooknCajun.

Athena, I also add a little olive oil to the boil. It seems to enhance the
flavor.
