Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Delicious King Crab and Shrimp Boil.
Step 1
Begin by assembling all your ingredients and creating a tidy workspace to streamline your cooking process.
Step 2
In a spacious stewing pot, pour in 6 quarts of water and bring it to a vigorous boil.
Step 3
Stir in 1/4 cup of seafood seasoning, infusing the water with rich flavors.
Step 4
Once the water is bubbling, toss in the small red potatoes and let them simmer for 15 minutes until they reach a tender perfection.
Step 5
While the potatoes are cooking, take a second large pot, fill it with water, and bring it to a boil.
Step 6
Add 1 teaspoon of seafood seasoning to this pot for an extra kick.
Step 7
When the water is boiling, gently place the king crab legs into the seasoned water and let them cook for about 10 minutes, or until the meat is succulent and tender.
Step 8
Once done, drain the crab legs and set them aside.
Step 9
After the potatoes have cooked for 15 minutes, introduce the chopped carrots, celery, and pearl onions to the pot.
Step 10
Allow these vegetables to cook until they are tender, which should take about 10 minutes.
Step 11
Next, add the spicy sausage rounds and corn, letting them boil together for an additional 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
Step 12
Finally, add the unpeeled shrimp and the previously cooked crab legs to the pot.
Step 13
Cook until the shrimp turn a vibrant pink and opaque, which should take about 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 14
Serve this delightful seafood medley hot, and savor the flavors of the ocean in every bite!.
