RECIPE AND DIRECTIONS FOR SEAFOOD BOIL
Please note: This is an excellent baseline recipe for everyone. If you like spicier or less spicy foods you may adjust to your liking. The Zatarain’s Shrimp and Crab boil is the spicy ingredient in this recipe, BUT for this recipe, I only use 1 tablespoon so that it is a very mildly spicy boil so that everyone can enjoy.
Our Seafood Boil Flavor Liquid:
- 6 cups water. (You can use the measurement markings on Instant Pot to make the measurement easy for you).
- 1 tablespoon Zatarain’s shrimp and crab boil concentrate.
- 2 tablespoons Old Bay seasoning
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 3 lemon wedges(squeeze some lemon juice in too!)
- 2 quarters of an onion (suggestions: Spanish Onion or Vidalia)
- 1 Flavor sachet (ingredients right below)
The flavor sachet is composed of:
- 1 cheesecloth cut into a large square, and one piece of string or butcher twine to tie the knot.
- 1 thick slice of lemon
- A garlic bulb cut in half
- 2-3 sprigs of thyme
- 2 sage leaves
- 2 bay leaves
Add all contents to the cheesecloth and tie up with a piece of string or butcher twine (ask in the grocery store).
