The seasoning is fine for about 5 lbs. of seafood - double if you need more. The sauce was for 2-3 people - double if you need more.
1 sachet of herbs for the boil
Seafood: crab legs, mussels, crawfish, shrimp
sauce:
- 2 sticks butter
- 3 T minced garlic
- 1 T Garlic & Herb Old Bay seasoning
- 1 T lemon pepper
- 1 T cayenne pepper
- 1 T paprika
- 1 T chicken bouillon
Melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the garlic and cook about 3 minutes until soft - do not burn or brown. Add the seasonings and simmer for about 5-10 minutes while the seafood cooks. Drain the seafood, pour into your bowl or serving container and pour the sauce over all and toss.
Spice Sachet for the Crab Boil
2 T dill seed
4 bay leaves
1 T crushed, dried red pepper
4 T mustard seeds
3 T coriander seeds
1 t Cloves, ground
1 T ground Allspice
Combine in cheesecloth, tie up with string and add to your big pot of water for boiling seafood, along with 1/2 a lemon. Discard after seafood is done (seafood cooks fast so about 7-10 minutes depending what kind of seafood you are using).
