GARLIC BUTTER SEAFOOD BOIL

by

Step 1: Prepare the Seafood Boil

  1. Boil the Potatoes and Corn: In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook for about 10 minutes. Add the corn and cook for another 5 minutes. Remove the vegetables and set aside.
  2. Cook the Seafood: In the same boiling water, add the crab legs, shrimp, clams, and mussels. Cook until the seafood is done (shrimp will be pink, and shellfish will open up). This should take about 5-8 minutes. Drain and set aside with the vegetables.

Step 2: Make the Garlic Butter Sauce

  1. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Stir in the Old Bay seasoning, paprika, cayenne pepper, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.

Step 3: Combine and Toss

  1. In a large mixing bowl or directly in the pot, combine the cooked seafood, corn, potatoes, sausages, and the quartered onion.
  2. Pour the garlic butter sauce over the seafood and vegetables. Toss gently to make sure everything is well coated.

Step 4: Serve

  1. Transfer the garlic butter seafood boil to a large serving platter or spread it out over a covered table for a traditional boil presentation.
  2. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
