The Ultimate Seafood Boil

The Ultimate Seafood Boil

There’s just something about a seafood boil that brings people together. Maybe it’s the mess, maybe it’s the hands-on eating, or maybe it’s the way all those bold, buttery, citrusy flavors soak into every bite. Whatever it is, this recipe is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. It’s the kind of meal you make when you're feeding a crew—no fancy plating, no forks required, just good food and good company. This one’s been tried, tested, and trust me… it slaps.

Ingredients:

  •   6 lbs of potatoes
  •   9 ears of corn
  •   4 lbs shrimp (shell-on = more flavor)
  •   2 lbs sausage (your favorite kind)
  •   5 garlic cloves, smashed
  •   6 lemons, halved
  •   2 large yellow onions, quartered
  •   4 lbs crab legs
  •   1/2 bag of seafood seasoning 

Instructions:

  1.   Bring a large pot with water to a rolling boil.
  2.   Add lemons, garlic, and onions. Boil for 10 minutes.
  3.   Stir in 1/2 bag of seasoning. Boil for another 5 minutes.
  4.   Add potatoes and sausage. Bring it back to a boil and cook for 12-15 minutes.
  5.   Toss in frozen crab legs and shrimp. Cook for 5 minutes.
  6.   Add corn and cook 3-4 more minutes.
  7.   Turn off the heat and let everything soak for 10 minutes.

Drain, pour out on a big table (or tray), and dig in.

Once everything’s drained and dumped out onto a big table (bonus points for newspaper or butcher paper), all that’s left to do is grab a seat and get messy. Don’t forget the napkins, maybe a cold drink or two, and enjoy the chaos. It’s not just dinner—it’s an experience. Make it once and you’ll be getting requests all summer long.
