EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

If crab boil package contains two bags, use both bags.

The crab boil mixture can be found in the spice section of the supermarket. If unavailable, use a combination of 3 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes, 6 dried bay leaves and 12 whole cloves. Place seasonings on a square of cheesecloth; bring corners up and tie with string.

Warm breadsticks and a tossed salad or coleslaw would nicely accompany this easy meal. Top it off with a chocolate dessert.

This is a real keeper. I made this with the crushed red pepper, bay leaves, and whole cloves instead of the Shrimp & Crab Boil. We LOVED it!

Ok, tasty once fully cooked! I removed the boil bag half way through and the flavor still carried through. Our 8 year old enjoyed it, without any extra butter either. Will make again for sure.

O gosh...we haven't eaten this yet and I am a bit araid of how this is going to turn out. The smell of the cayenne in the boil bag is overwhelming, can't be anywhere near the kitchen without coughing. I will revise once we eat it.
