A delicious seafood boil featuring fresh ingredients and robust flavors.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 gallon water
- 12 ounces beer
- 1/3 cup Old Bay Seasoning
- 2 onions (quartered)
- 2 lemons (sliced, plus more for serving)
- 4 garlic cloves (sliced in half)

Instructions
- In a large stock pot or outdoor cooker, add water, beer, quartered onions, halved lemons and a generous amount of Old Bay seasoning. Bring to a rolling boil.
- Add potatoes, whole garlic cloves and sliced smoked sausage. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes until the potatoes start to soften.
- Add the corn on the cob, broken into halves or thirds. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add crawfish and crab legs. If they’re frozen, let them cook a few extra minutes. Otherwise, 3 to 4 minutes is plenty.
- Toss in the shrimp last and cook for just 1 to 2 minutes, until they turn pink and are cooked through.
- Reserve a cup of the broth if desired for serving. Drain the mixture and serve straight on a table lined with newspaper or butcher paper.
Notes
- This dish is perfect for gatherings and pairs well with crusty bread.
