💰Cheaper: generic seafood seasoning

Homemade blends can be tailored to taste and are often cheaper.

Clean the shrimp, lobster tails, and crab legs.

Rinse the corn and place the red and Yukon gold potatoes in a large pot with water to boil.

Add a stick of butter to the pot and about two tablespoons of seasoning.

Add salt and pepper to taste.

Add Tony Chachere's seasoning, Maggie chicken bouillon cube, and Slap Ya Mama seasoning to the pot.

Fill the pot with water to cover the corn and potatoes, then bring to a boil.

Let the corn cook for about 15 minutes, tasting for seasoning as needed.

Add a little lemon juice and about a fourth of a cup of milk to the pot after 15 minutes.

Remove the corn from the pot and place crab legs in a baking dish.

Sprinkle garlic salt over the crab legs and add butter on top.

Bake the crab legs in the oven for about 10-12 minutes.

Cut the sausages into pieces and pan-fry them until they get some color.

Prepare the sauce by melting another stick of butter in a pot and adding garlic, Maggie chicken bouillon, and Tony Chachere's seasoning.

Add chicken broth to the sauce and let it come to a boil.

Build a seafood boil bag by placing some sauce at the bottom, then adding 10 shrimp, one lobster tail, crab legs, about eight potatoes, and four pieces of sausage into the bag.

Top the bag with more sauce and seal it for serving.
