DADDY'S SHRIMP OR CRAB BOIL SEASONING SECRET



Daddy's Shrimp or Crab Boil Seasoning Secret image

My Daddy was born and raised in Shreveport Louisiana, and absolutely loved any kind of seafood you could name (and knew how to cook it, too!). This was a frequent snack item at my house growing up; freshly boiled shrimp spiced just right. I could peel and eat my weight in them! Daddy's been gone for almost 40 years now, but I...

Provided by Julie Madawi

Categories     Other Snacks

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 11

PER POUND OF SEAFOOD TO BOIL (SHRIMP OR CRAB)
1 Tbsp chili powder (good quality, i used penzey's) use more if you like a stronger flavor
1 1/2 tsp cajun seasoning (i use tony chacherre's)
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper, more or less to taste
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 pinch peppercorns, whole black
2 bay leaves
1 dash(es) hot pepper sauce (i used tabasco, of course!)
2 c ice cubes in a bowl large enough to hold the shrimp

Steps:

  • 1. First, place a small skillet on medium/medium hight heat. Add the chili powder cayenne, and cajun seasonings to the DRY skillet and toast, stirring constantly, until they become fragrant. This helps the spices to "bloom" and release their flavor.
  • 2. SHRIMP: Place the raw, shell-on shrimp into a pot and rinse once with cool water, then just barely cover with fresh water. Place the pot on the stove, add all the spices and heat on medium high until the shrimp mixture starts to boil. Keep an eye on them at this point, stirring freguently, and they will be done as soon as they turn pinkish white and start to curl, about 3 to 5 minutes. You do not want to overcook them, or they will become rubbery. Immediately remove from heat and drain off the liquid, save for about a 1/4 cup. Add two cups of ice to a separate bowl and add the shrimp and reserved liquid, stirring for a few minutes to aid in cooling. My Dad always used to throw the steaming bowl of shrimp into the freezer to cool. You can serve them hot, warm, or chilled, shell on or off.
  • 3. CRAB: Follow above cooking directions except cover raw crabs with an inch of cold water. Once the water boils, the crabmeat will turn opaque and the shells an orange shade, about 7 minutes. remove from water and serve hot.

HOT CAJUN-STYLE CRAB BOIL



Hot Cajun-Style Crab Boil image

A trip to Avery Island, La., the home of Tabasco sauce, inspired this Jacques Pépin recipe from 1994. A few years earlier, Paul McIlhenny, the fourth generation of his family to produce the hot sauce, served Mr. Pépin and his wife a bountiful crab boil. " People helped themselves," Mr. Pépin wrote, adding, "We washed the banquet down with plenty of cold beer." Here, he substitutes blue crab for crawfish, and kielbasa for the hot Cajun sausage. But whatever you use, keep Mr. Pépin's recommendation and have a beer alongside.

Provided by Jacques Pepin

Categories     dinner, one pot, main course

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 bags (3 ounces each) commercial crab-boil seasoning, or equivalent amount of your own spice mixture (see article)
Salt, to taste
2 pounds medium onions (about 8), peeled
3 pounds small potatoes (about 24), washed but not peeled
24 live medium blue crabs
2 pounds kielbasa, cut into 3-inch pieces
35 to 40 cloves garlic (3 heads), unpeeled
12 ears sweet corn, hulled

Steps:

  • Place 2 gallons of water and the crab-boil seasoning in a large stockpot, cover and bring to a boil. (Note: This can be done a few hours ahead, set aside and brought back to a boil at serving time to intensify the stock flavor.) Add salt to taste.
  • Add the onions and potatoes to the boiling stock, cover and bring the stock back to a boil. Boil gently for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, rinse the crabs well in a sink filled with cold water. Using metal tongs, lift the crabs from the sink, and after discarding any dead or smelly crabs, add them to the stockpot with the sausage and garlic. Bring the mixture back to a boil, and boil gently for 5 minutes.
  • Add the corn, and bring the mixture back to a boil. Then, turn off the heat, and let the pot sit (up to 1 hour) until serving time.
  • At serving time, drain off the stock, and arrange crab boil ingredients separately on a large platter. Serve with the hot mayonnaise (see following recipe), if desired.
