| New Orleans Crab/Crawfish Boil Seasoning |
| Or, as we always called it, just "Zatarain's" (pronounced ZAT-uh-rans), after the most popular local brand of crab boil. It's a packet of spices that you just throw into the water in which you boil your seafood, and makes it spicy-yummy-wonderful. Just make sure you don't get it near your face and inhale, or you'll be sneezing uncontrollably for several minutes!
It's now widely available in the United States, but not elsewhere in the world. If you live in an area where it's not available, make your own, and have Louisiana-style boiled shrimp, crabs or crawfish anytime. Works well with any kind of shellfish (I'd love to try boiling langoustines in this elixir sometime!). Ingredients: 4 tablespoons yellow mustard seeds 3 tablespoons coriander seeds 2 tablespoons whole allspice 2 tablespoons dill seeds 1 teaspoon whole cloves 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper 8 bay leaves Salt and cayenne pepper (or liquid hot sauce) to taste Combine all dry ingredients thoroughly. Place in a square of muslin or cheesecloth and tie securely with string, like a large sachet d'้pices. Add salt and cayenne or hot sauce to the water to taste, then bring to a boil. When water for seafood is boiling, add the bag and boil for several minutes, until the boiling liquid is tinted and seasoned, then add vegetables and/or shellfish and cook until done, depending on what you're using. Yield: Enough crab boil seasoning for 5 pounds of seafood. |
| Steaming Blue Crab |
| Fill your steamer stock pot just below the bottom of the steamer basket with 1 part water and 1 part apple cider vinegar. Bring to a full rolling boil. Add live hard shell crabs to your steamer basket sprinkling each layer generously with your dry seasoning mix. Cover and wait for steam to escape from under lid, about 10 minutes. Continue cooking over high heat for an additional 20-30 minutes until crabs turn bright orange. If shells are dark red or have reddish-green patches, then the crabs are not yet fully cooked. Dump your steamed blue crabs on a table covered with newspaper and sprinkle additional seasoning on your crabs to taste. Serve with bowls of melted butter, crackers, tabasco sauce and lemon wedges. now sit down and enjoy your feast. |

| Buy fresh live crabs. Once home place the crabs in a large basin or bucket and cover with ice. The ice stuns the crabs and miraculously keeps the claws from falling off during the boiling process. Soak for 30 minutes.
Prepare a large stock pot with boiling water. Add seasonings: 2 large sweet onions chunked Several whole garlic pods 3-4 Bay leaves 2-4 tablespoons Zatarains Liquid Shrimp & Crab Boil Salt 2 tablespoons White Vinegar (helps crabs peel easily) Lemon or lime juice. Carefully place the crabs in the boiling water. Boil about 8-10 minutes. The crabs instantly turn a vibrant red once placed in the boiling water. Turn off the heat. Place cold water or more ice on top of the crabs in order to stop the cooking process. Let the crabs soak in the water in order to soak up the wonderful seasonings for 30 minutes to an hour. ฉ Copyright Cajun Cooking TV All rights reserved. |
