These easy seafood boil recipes will bring you back to your favorite seaside eatery. Filled with shrimp, crab, sausage, corn, potatoes, and spices, a boil is perfect for a casual one-pot meal!
Seafood dinners boiled in a large pot can be dated back to many generations of our ancestors. They are extremely popular in the south, Maryland, the Carolinas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, and all along the gulf coast but have quickly become more and more popular across the United States.
Seafood boil recipes usually contain similar ingredients—shrimp, crab, clams, crawfish, or lobster—along with andouille sausage, garlic, corn on the cob and potatoes.
Shrimp is a key ingredient and is found in most boil recipes (you can even use frozen shrimp). However, the regional differences are in the combination of shellfish and vegetables, how it is spiced, and the way it is cooked.
Boils are often served as a main dish during many parties and events. Several different side dishes can be served with them, but you can serve them on their own, or with a loaf of crusty bread for mopping up the sauce. Beer is traditional, but why not try a fun coastal cocktail with seafood dinner?
