The Whole Shabang Crab Boil

I asked the group to give me 3 of their favorite herbs and or seasoning and said I would find a recipe tailored around them. Someone said Old Bay, Cajun and Lemon Pepper. This is the recipe I chose that all 3 she mentioned.

I have always wanted to do a Cajun boil, I will for sure be giving this a try!

What you'll need:

1T Cajun seasoning

1T old bay

1T lemon pepper

1T paprika

1T cayenne pepper

1T garlic powder

2T sugar

2 sticks butter

1/3c water

chopped garlic

shrimp/craw-fish/crab

corn/potatoes/sausage

Steps:

Mix these together in a small bowl; 1T old bay, 1T of Cajun, 1T lemon pepper, 1T of paprika, 1T of cayenne pepper, 1T garlic powder, 2T of sugar.

Put sticks of butter in a wok and stir for a bit.

Add the seasoning and mix.

Add 1/3 cup of the water, taste and add any of the seasonings to adjust to taste.

When you achieve the taste you like, then add the shrimp (with or without the shell) and or craw-fish and crab.

Optional; add corn, potatoes and or sausage, (Cook these separately first before adding into the pot).
