King Crab & Shrimp Boil

[TentHunteR]

I've been itching to do a Crab & Shrimp Boil!

I prefer mixing my own seasoning blend.  Here's what I use. It's similar to Zatarain's boil in bag, but also includes some paprika (for color) and salt.


Seafood Boil Mix
Enough to season 8 - 10 quarts of water

2 TBS mustard seeds
1 1/2 TBS coriander seeds
1 TBS whole allspice
1 TBS dill seeds or dried dill weed
1 - 2 tsp Cayenne (depending on how spicy you like it)
2 - 4 bay leaves
1 TBS Paprika
1/4 cup Salt

I also like to add the juice of 1 lemon ( 2 - 3 TBS). You can also add the lemon halves to the pot if you wish.



2 1/2 lbs red potatoes went in for the first 15 minutes.


Then 6 ears of corn, 1 lb of homemade smoked kielbasa, 3 lbs of King Crab legs, and 5 more minutes...




Lastly,  2 lbs uncooked shell-on shrimp, 5 more minutes, and...



It's time to dig in!
