SEAFOOD BOIL



Seafood Boil image

An old recipe that's especially good for family get-togethers. It's good, it's fun, and clean-up is easy. It's best done outside around a picnic table. When shrimp and crabs are done, cover picnic table with four to five layers of newspaper. Remove everything from pot, drain, and spread in center of table. Gather everyone around and enjoy the feast. When everyone has had their fill, gather up the leftovers (if there is any), put all the scraps in the center of the table, roll up the newspaper around them, and put them in the trash. Go wash the one pot and the cleanup is done. Have fun and enjoy.

1 pinch salt to taste
1 (8 fluid ounce) bottle liquid shrimp and crab boil seasoning
3 pounds kielbasa sausage, cut into 1 inch pieces

4 lemons, halved
1 tablespoon diced green chile pepper, or to taste

Steps:

  • Use a very large pot (we use a 40 quart pot), fill it half full with water; bring water to a full boil. Add salt, shellfish boil, sausage, and potatoes. Let cook until the potatoes are approximately 1/2 completed cooking.
  • Stir in lemons, hot peppers, and corn. Continue boiling until all of the vegetables are tender. Turn off the heat.

Time 1h30m

Yield 14

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 lemons, halved
2 medium sweet onions (such as Vidalia®), quartered
4 serrano chiles, split in 1/2 lengthwise and seeds and membranes removed
2 bunches fresh thyme, tied with string
2 heads garlic, peeled and halved
1 ⅔ cups seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®), or more to taste
6 teaspoons kosher salt, or more to taste
6 bay leaves
3 pounds medium red potatoes, cut in 1/2
5 (13 ounce) packages smoked kielbasa sausage, cut into 2-inch pieces
6 ears sweet corn, halved
30 littleneck clams, scrubbed
4 pounds jumbo shrimp, deveined, tail on
2 ½ pounds Alaskan king crab legs

Steps:

  • Fill a very large stockpot fitted with a basket insert with about 8 quarts of water, or about halfway full. Squeeze lemons into the water, tossing the halves in too. Add onions, chiles, thyme, garlic, 1 2/3 cup seafood seasoning, 6 teaspoons kosher salt, and bay leaves; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Stir potatoes into the pot and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. Next, add the sausage and corn; cook another 5 minutes, making sure everything stays covered with the liquid. Add the clams and boil until they open, about 8 minutes. Toss in the shrimp and shut off the heat. Cover the pot and let the shrimp steep in the flavor for 10 minutes, adding the crab in the last 5 minutes (press them into the liquid).
  • Drain and spread the crab, shrimp, sausage, clams, corn, potatoes, and onions out on a newspaper-covered table or on 3 large serving trays. Sprinkle with a dusting of Old Bay® or provide for individual use.
