Bayou Low-Country Boil

Ingredients:

  • 6-8 lbs. shellfish (shrimp, crabs, crawfish, or lobster)
  • 1 lb. andouille sausage, cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 1 lb. small red potatoes
  • 4 yellow onions, quartered
  • 4-6 ears of corn, shucked and halved
  • ¼ cup sea salt
  • melted butter
  • Bayou Bubble Shellfish Boil

Directions:

Boil enough water to cover the goodies–shellfish and veggies–to be boiled. For a “clean” boil, transfer your Bayou Bubble to the muslin bag; if you like it “dirty,” save your muslin bag for a bouquet garni. When the water reaches a rolling boil, toss in your Bayou Bubble and salt; boil for 2 minutes. Add potatoes and onion; boil for 15 minutes. Next, add shellfish (except shrimp) and corn; boil for 10 minutes (additional time may be needed for lobster or exceptionally large crabs). Add shrimp and boil for an additional 5 minutes. Drain on a picnic table covered with newspapers. Sprinkle with Bayou Ya-Ya Cajun blend and serve with melted butter.

Feeds 6-8 hungry people.
