Crab and Shrimp Seafood Boil Recipe | Low Country Boil

shrimp

🥗Healthier: wild-caught shrimp

💰Cheaper: frozen shrimp

Wild-caught shrimp may have better flavor and nutritional profile, while frozen shrimp can be more budget-friendly.

Cajun seasoning

🥗Healthier: homemade spice blend

💰Cheaper: store-bought seasoning

Homemade blends can be tailored for health, while store-bought options may be less expensive.

Cut lemon, orange, and onion in half.

Remove the onion skin and keep the garlic whole.

Dice about an inch of ginger.

Poke holes in the baby red potatoes.

Slice the andouille sausage into desired sizes.

Fill a turkey frying pot halfway with water and add the onion.

Bring the water to a boil.

Add about 2 tablespoons of dill weed, 1 tablespoon of ground coriander, and half a can of Old Bay seasoning to the pot.

Add 2 sticks of butter to the pot.

If using frozen corn, add it to the pot first; if using fresh corn, add the potatoes first.

After the water is boiling, add the frozen corn to the pot.

Once the corn is added, add the baby red potatoes and cover the pot.

Cook the potatoes for about 10-15 minutes until they float to the top.

After about 7 minutes, add the andouille sausage to the pot.

Add the crab clusters to the pot and cook for about 5 minutes.

Add the shrimp last and cook until they turn pink, which takes just a few minutes.

Sprinkle additional Old Bay seasoning on top before serving.
