**The Art of Making a Delicious Seafood Boil**

Garlic and fresh herbs are going to make this seafood boil truly special, we got some fresh herbs, some thyme, some bay leaves, lots of good stuff going in here. I'm going to add a pinch or two of red pepper flakes just to add a little bit of spice to the party, totally optional guys if you don't like heat you can leave it out but I do like to add a little bit of spice to my seafood boil so we went in with about a teaspoon or two of those. Could also use cayenne pepper or something like that if you don't have crushed red pepper flakes no big deal.

I'm gonna bring this to a boil let everything kind of come together and then it's time to go ahead and add in some of this juicy crab seasoning, this stuff is fantastic guys we'll add about a quarter cup of this into the liquid that's going to add even more flavor. I'm going to use my hot all-purpose seasoning as well you can use whatever seasoning you like, now we're going to take a wooden spoon or spatula get in there and make sure everything is well combined and mixed together. You can taste as you go and adjust the flavor adjust the heat whatever you need to do.

When making a seafood boil guys you want to think about what takes the longest to cook because that's the first thing that needs to go into the boil so for me that's the potato, we went ahead and added the potatoes. Now we're going in with the sausage, we're gonna cover that with a lid and let those potatoes get nice and tender at which point it's time to add the corn, because that takes the second longest to cook, we want to make sure that corn gets tender also but not too mushy I hate when i get a seafood boil bag and the corn super mushy, that ruins it for me.

Once we got the corn nice and tender it's time to add in those crab legs. I like to defrost mine, make sure they're nice and clean before they go into the boil. We're gonna add those like you see right here. Perfect option for Valentine's Day guys these seafood boils are incredibly popular, save yourself a couple dollars and some time by making it at home we're gonna go ahead and add in the lobster tails now once those are just about done.

We're going to add in the shrimp at the very end because that takes the shortest amount of time to cook, now we're going to hit it with a little bit more seasoning because why not. This is going to be absolutely delicious I can't wait to dig into this. Oh man look at that and there you have it folks that seafood boil is done.

channel you know i've done several seafood boils before but today i'm focused on doing a juicy crab specific seafood boil they happen to be our sponsor today i absolutely love this seafood season and if you haven't tried it yet you can grab that via the link in my description box but enough run in my big mouth it's time to get to work first things first we need to clean these potatoes after you rinse them off a few times you want to take a paper towel and really scrub them especially if we're leaving the skin on we want to make sure that these potatoes are super clean after we've achieved a squeaky clean potato it's time to quarter these up we want them to be relatively small that way they cook faster for us when we put them in the seafood boil the goal here really is to make sure that all the potato pieces are about the same size that way they get tender at the same time quick reminder guys that all specific measurements and ingredients for this recipe can be found in the description box below so don't forget to check that out once our potatoes are situated it's time to move on to the corn which happens to be one of my favorite parts of a seafood boil i love the way the corn just soaks up all the flavor we're gonna break these in half you can break them down even smaller if you're feeding a crowd but today we're making this for three people this recipe probably could have fed four or five but we were hungry so you know how that goes now we're gonna prep our onion the onion is going in the seafood boil mostly for flavor we're not really gonna eat this unless you just love onions and hey it's your house do your thing we're gonna quarter that onion up same thing with the garlic we're gonna use a whole bulb of garlic that's gonna go in the boil for flavor as well along with two lemons and we're gonna use one orange as well i like the flavor that the orange brings a little bit more citrus a hint of sweetness as well now we're gonna cut these lemons right in half same thing with the orange i like to get all my prep work done and out of the way that way we're a little bit more efficient in the kitchen nothing worse than having to stop what you're doing to prep a veggie or something like that so we'd like to get all the prep work done and out of the way the last bit of prep work is going to involve this smoked sausage you can use andouille sausage beef or pork or turkey whatever you like really any sausage that you like can go into the seafood boil sometimes i like to mix it up and add a couple different ones typically i go with andouille sausage but today we have some beef smoked sausage this stuff is absolutely delicious as well and it's gonna go perfect in our seafood boil now that we have all of our prep work out of the way my friends it's time to get to cooking we have a large stockpot here that i'm gonna add a tablespoon of avocado oil to that way we can get the party started with this sausage i prefer to brown the sausage first it does two things for us one it makes the sausage a little bit more tasty because it locks in some of that flavor and get a little bit of char on there and two the fat renders from the sausage and adds flavor to the rest of our stock that we're gonna use for this boil as you can see the sausage is browning up nicely got a little caramelization going tons of flavor in there we're going to go ahead and remove that with a slotted spoon until we need it for later as you can see down at the bottom of the pot we have plenty of flavor down there from the sausage now we're going to go ahead and add in some chicken stock i'm also gonna add a little bit of beer the beer is totally optional i haven't had a beer in a long time so i figured why the hell not we're gonna add three quarters of a beer the other is gonna be for the taste test cheers my friends let's make sure the beer is tasting good and it is back to cooking we're gonna go ahead and scrape the bottom of the pot to release all that fond off the bottom from the sausage tons of flavor developing here we're gonna bring this to a simmer cook off the alcohol from the beer leave it behind the flavor again if you don't like beer no big deal we're also gonna add one to two tablespoons of lobster base obviously the citrus that we had earlier those lemons the orange the goal here guys is to make sure this liquid tastes as good as possible we need to pack as much flavor into this liquid as we can this is what we're gonna cook our potatoes our corn all of our seafood in so it has to taste delicious in order for our end product to taste delicious and now we're adding even more flavor to the party by adding in that onion the garlic we got some fresh herbs some thyme some bay leaves lots of good stuff going in here i'm going to add a pinch or two of red pepper flakes just to add a little bit of spice to the party totally optional guys if you don't like heat you can leave it out but i do like to add a little bit of spice to my seafood boil so we went in with about a teaspoon or two of those could also use cayenne pepper or something like that if you don't have crushed red pepper flakes no big deal i'm
