Crab And Shrimp Boil With New Potatoes Recipes

SHRIMP, SWEET CORN AND NEW POTATO BOIL

Steps:

• Mix water, salt and bag of crab boil mixture in 4-quart Dutch oven. Cover and heat to boiling. Add potatoes and corn. Heat to boiling; reduce heat to medium. Cover and cook 10 to 15 minutes or just until potatoes are tender and corn is bright yellow.
• Remove Dutch oven from heat. Add shrimp; let stand 3 to 5 minutes or until shrimp are pink and firm.
• Drain potatoes, corn and shrimp; discard crab boil bag. Place corn and potatoes on serving platter; drizzle with melted butter. Arrange shrimp on platter; squeeze juice from lemon wedges over shrimp. Sprinkle with pepper and parsley; serve with cocktail sauce.

NO-BOIL SHRIMP BOIL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Add the potatoes, 1 teaspoon seafood seasoning and 1 tablespoon olive oil to a mixing bowl. Toss to coat the potatoes in the oil and seasoning. Add the potatoes to a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until the potatoes are slightly browned and tender, but still have some resistance when pierced with a fork, 10 to 15 minutes.
• In the meantime, add the butter, garlic and remaining 4 tablespoons olive oil to a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat until the butter is melted. Add the shrimp and corn to a large mixing bowl. Add the butter mixture and remaining tablespoon seafood seasoning. Toss everything together so the shrimp and corn are covered in the seasoning.
• Remove the baking sheet from the oven and add the shrimp, corn and sliced andouille sausage.
• Transfer back to the oven and cook until the shrimp is cooked through and the corn is tender, another 15 minutes.
• Remove the baking sheet from the oven and top with the juice of 1 lemon and the chopped parsley. Serve with extra lemon wedges on the side.

CRAB AND SHRIMP BOIL PASTA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to boil for the pasta.
• As the water heats, in a Dutch oven or pot, sear sausage in oil over medium-high heat. Stir occasionally until the sausage browns, about 5 minutes. Transfer the sausage to a plate to drain, and discard pan drippings.
• Add butter to the pot. When it melts, add garlic and sauté until fragrant. (Be careful not to burn the garlic.)
• Stir in broth, and add seafood seasoning, Cajun seasoning, red-pepper flakes and lemon juice. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook about 5 minutes, then taste and adjust for seasonings. Set aside 1/2 cup garlic broth for serving.
• Cook pasta in salted water according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
• Add crab meat to the broth and gently stir until heated through. Add pasta and toss with tongs until evenly coated. Pour pasta into large serving bowl, then top with sausage and the sheet-pan shrimp boil. Drizzle the reserved garlic broth on top of the mixture. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.

SPICY BOILED CRABS, SHRIMP, POTATOES, CORN, AND GARLIC

Steps:

• In a 7- to 8-gallon kettle bring 5 gallons water to a boil.
• While water is coming to a boil, in a deep sink rinse crabs in 2 or 3 changes of water. (Do not fill sink too full or crabs may crawl out.)
• Add Zatarain's crab boil or 5 tablespoons Old Bay seasoning, cayenne, salt, lemons, and onions to boiling water and boil 5 minutes. Add potatoes and garlic and boil until tender, about 15 minutes. Transfer potatoes and garlic with a large sieve to a large platter and keep warm, covered with foil. Add corn to boiling water and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer corn with tongs to platter and keep warm, covered with foil.
• Return water to a boil. Transfer about 6 crabs carefully with long tongs to sieve, holding them down in sieve with tongs, and turn crabs out into boiling water. Add remaining crabs in same manner. Return water to a boil and cook crabs until just cooked through, about 10 minutes. (To determine doneness, remove a claw and crack it with the handle of a dinner knife. Use Knife to extract meat from claw.) Transfer crabs with sieve to another large platter and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning.
• Return water to boil and cook shrimp until just cooked through, about 2 minutes. Transfer shrimp with sieve to large platter with crabs and sprinkle with remaining tablespoon Old Bay seasoning.
• Serve crabs, shrimp, and vegetables with horseradish cocktail sauce and French bread.

CRAB-BOIL POTATOES

Steps:

• Place the potatoes (I like mine cut up but you could keep them whole) in a pot and add just enough water to cover the potatoes. Add the crab boil.
• Bring the water to a rolling boil then add Tony Chacheres (or salt) and the hot sauce.
• Allow the potatoes to boil until they are fork-tender (5-10 minutes depending on the size of the potatoes and whether you cut them or left them whole).
• Drain the potatoes and allow them to sit for 5 minutes or so.
• You can serve these hot, or allow them to cool (the flavor gets stronger as they cool) and serve them at room temperature.

KING CRAB AND SHRIMP BOIL

Steps:

• Bring 6 quarts water to a boil in a large stewing pot; add seafood seasoning. Cook potatoes in the seasoned water for 15 minutes.
• Bring a separate pot of water to a boil; add seafood seasoning to taste. Cook crab legs until meat is tender, about 10 minutes.
• Mix carrots, celery, and onions into potatoes; cook until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Add sausage and corn and continue boiling for 5 minutes more. Add shrimp and transfer crab legs to same pot; cook until shrimp are cooked through and pink, 2 to 3 minutes.
