Seafood Boil Stovetop Recipes

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.
• Mix in shrimp and crab. Cover pot and let sit for 10 to 15 minutes. When shrimp are pink and the crabmeat opaque and flaky, remove all of the vegetables and shellfish from the pot, and drain well. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Fill a large stock pot 3/4 full of water. Add juice of 2 lemons and rinds, 1/4 cup Old Bay seasoning, 1 tablespoon salt, bay leaf, and 1 head of garlic cut in half; stir together and add potatoes. Bring to a boil and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes. Add corn, simmer for 5 minutes. Add shrimp, simmer for 3 minutes more. Drain in a large colander and discard lemons, bay leaf, and garlic. Return stock pot to stove over medium heat. Melt butter and stir in 2 tablespoons Old Bay seasoning. Add back potatoes, corn, and shrimp. Toss together in butter mixture and parsley; transfer to a large platter. Serve immediately.
