In a large pot, bring 1 gallon of water to a boil.

Stir in 1/4 cup of Chilau Crab & Shrimp Boil Base. Adjust the amount based on how spicy or mild you prefer your boil.

Add salt to taste and squeeze in the juice of one lemon, dropping the lemon halves into the pot.

If using, add your chosen vegetables like potatoes, corn, and onions to the pot. Let them simmer until nearly tender, about 10-15 minutes, depending on the size of the cuts.

Add the seafood to the boiling mixture. Cook until the shrimp are pink and the shellfish are cooked through, about 5-8 minutes, depending on the size and variety of seafood.

Once cooked, drain the seafood and vegetables from the pot and transfer to a large serving platter. Optionally, sprinkle with extra lemon juice, melted butter, and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.

Dive in while it's warm and enjoy a flavorful feast!
