This seafood boil is loaded with shrimp, crab, mussels, potatoes, corn, and sausage. All boiled together in one pot with some of the best flavors and spooned over with a delicious, buttery Old Bay sauce.
In a large pot, add 16 cups of water, butter, lemon slices, minced garlic and Old Bay seasoning. Bring to a boil over high heat.
Reduce heat to medium, add potatoes and corn. Cook for 8-10 minutes.
Add crab legs to the pot, cook for 5 minutes.
Add mussels and sausage to the pot, cook for 5 more minutes.
Add shrimp to the pot. Turn off heat and place a lid on. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes, the shrimp will cook during this time in the hot broth.
While seafood boil is sitting, make the buttery Old Bay sauce by combining melted butter, lemon juice, paprika, chopped parsley, and Old Bay seasoning. Whisk all ingredients until well combined.
Drain seafood boil from the pot and serve on a large sheet pan or large serving dish. Spoon the buttery Old Bay sauce over seafood boil and serve with additional lemon wedges.
If you don’t own one of those extra large pots, another option is to cook the potatoes and corn together in a separate pot so you can have enough room for all of the seafood and sausage to cook in the seasoned broth. At the end, the potatoes and corn will still get a good splash of the delicious, buttery Old Bay sauce along with the seafood boil.
