Don’t be afraid to get creative! Add whatever floats your boat. Spicy or sweet sausages, clams, lobsters, calamari etc. Make it completely your own. That’s the fun of a boil, it can be as easy and laid back or as extravagant as you want it. I like to serve this on newspaper for easy cleanup, but you do you!
For a party full of adults pick your favorite seafoods and try portioning this way per person:
- 1 1/2 pounds crab legs (10 minutes)
- 1 whole crab (20 minutes)
- 1/4 pound shrimp (7 minutes)
- 1 pound mussels (7 minutes)
- 1 pound crawfish (7 minutes)
- 1 pound clams (7 minutes)
- 1/4 pound calamari (5 minutes)
- 1 pound lobster tails (10 minutes)
- 1/4 pound sausage (5 minutes)
- 3 potatoes (20 minutes)
- 1 cob of corn (5 minutes)
Ingredients:
- 6 bottles gluten free beer/beer of your choice OR 1 bottle dry white wine
- 4 heads garlic (halved)
- 4 lemons (halved)
- 1 orange (halved)
- 4 onions (large, quartered)
- ½ cup onion powder
- ¼ cup dill seed
- ¼ cup celery seed
- 1 cup hot sauce
- 4 sticks butter (divided)
- 1 cup old bay
- ½ cup chili powder
- ½ cup paprika
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 8 bay leaves
- ¼ cup coriander seeds
- ⅓ cup mustard seeds
- 1 tsp whole cloves
- 1 tsp allspice
- 12 Qts water
- 10 lemons (for serving)
- 1 container old bay (for serving)
Instructions:
- In a large pot ( I use a 24 Quart stock pot) add all ingredients except seafood and reserve two sticks of butter for dipping.
- Fill the pot half way to three quarters full depending upon the amount of seafood you intend to boil.
- Bring to a boil, and allow to stay at a roiling boil for about 20 minutes. If you're using as large a pot as I do this will take quite a bit of time, around 30 minutes.
- Once the pot has boiled and the seasonings have melded together add your ingredients according to their cook times.
