This is a good seafood boil recipe, you could make this in one pot for the family. I'm going to try this Seafood crab boil recipe in the oven as well (stay tuned)
Prep Time 15 minutes mins
Cook Time 40 minutes mins
Course Main Course
Cuisine Southern
- 2 lbs large shrimp (if frozen, completely thaw in refrigeration)
- 4 links meatless spicy sausages (impossible brand)
- 6 corn on the cob (frozen, or 3 ears cut in thirds)
- 1 large Dungeness crab (cleaned)
- 8 oz mushrooms
- 3 quartz water (for boiling)
- 1 bag Zatarain's crab boil seasoning (bag seasoning)
Garlic Butter Sauce
- 1 stick butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lemon (juiced)
- 1/2 onion, minced (optional but recommended)
- 1 tbsp old bay seasoning
- 2 tsp lemon pepper seasoning
- 1/2 cup vegetable broth (add up to 1 cup if needed)
- 2 tsp creole seasoning
- salt & pepper to taste
In a large pot, combine Water and Zatarain's seafood boil seasoning bag. Bring it to a boil, and then boil the ingredients in batches.
Add the frozen corn and let it boil for about 10 minutes or until it is tender (do not overcook; if using fresh corn, bring Water to a strong boil and cook for 4 to 5 minutes). Remove the corn and set aside.
Add the crab to the pot and boil (this will depend on your crab; mine was previously frozen; cook for 15 minutes). Once done, remove and set aside with the corn.
Add the shrimp to the pot and boil for 2-3 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Turn the heat off once you have finished boiling all the seafood and corn.
Remove the casing on the impossible sausages. Spray olive oil in a skillet, and brown the sausages for 10 minutes (flipping through all sides). Remove and set aside; let it cool before cutting.
Garlic Butter Sauce
In the same heated large skillet, add butter and let that melt. Saute mushroom and cook for about 2-3 minutes. Then add garlic and onion and saute until aromatic. Squeeze the lemon juice in the skillet, and add the whole lemon.
Add all the seasoning in and mix. Slowly add the broth (start with 1/2 cup) and bring to a slight boil. Please give it a taste and adjust it to your liking.
Add the sliced sausages and let them soak in the sauce. Add more vegetable broth at this time if it's too salty or needs more liquid. Let this cook for 2-3 minutes, and remove from heat.
Set some sauce aside for dipping, then pour the sauce over the boiled seafood (corn, shrimp, and crab).
