Directions: |
Directions:Get a stock pot large enough to hold all of the listed ingredients (I use a turkey frying size pot).
Fill the pot about 1/3 with water and begin to heat. When water is warm add the salt & stir to dissolve. As a rule when cooking ANY Seafood, the water should be at least as salty as the ocean.
Add the bag of Zatarain's Crab Boil seasoning and boil for about 10 minutes.
Add potatoes, carrots and sausage & bring back to a boil for as long as it takes for the potatoes to be tender enough to penetrate with a fork but not fully cooked, around 10 minutes.
Add corn on the cob & cook for about 5 more minutes.
If you are adding Crab Legs add them here and boil for 5-7 minutes.
Add shrimp last and bring back to boil for 3 or 4 minutes
Drain and serve. |
