Ingredients
- 1 lemon (halved)
- 1 lb (500g) shrimp (head-on and shell-on, mustache and legs trimmed off)
- 1 lb (500g) crawfish (scrubbed and rinsed with water)
- 1 lb (500g) Manila clams (scrubbed and rinsed with water)
- water (for boiling)
- 2 ears corn (cut off the cob into 2-inches (5cm) pieces)
- 2 sticks unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 heads garlic (peeled and minced)
- 2 tablespoons Louisiana hot sauce
- 4 tablespoons Old Bay seasoning
- 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
- 2 1/2 tablespoons sugar
Steps
-
Combine all the ingredients of the seafood boil seasonings in a bowl. Stir to mix well. Set aside.
-
Fill a large stockpot halfway with water and bring to a boil. Add the lemon halves, followed by the shrimp, crawfish, Manila clams, and corn. Cover the stockpot and cook the seafood and corn until they turn red or cooked through for about 2 minutes. Drain the seafood and corn, and discard the water and lemon. Set aside.
-
While the seafood is cooking, in a big skillet over medium heat, add the butter and stir in the minced garlic. Sauté the garlic for 1 minute (not brown). Add the homemade seasoning and Louisiana hot sauce and stir well. Turn off the heat.
-
Transfer the seafood and corn to the spicy sauce, and stir to combine well. If you have a small skillet, mix the butter sauce and the seafood in two batches. Serve immediately.
