A neighborhood seafood boil is a fun way to bring friends together. Follow these steps to make your next boil a rousing success. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Find a recipe. You can visit web sites such as Cdkitchen.com or Allrecipes.com to find dishes for your seafood boil. You can use crab, crayfish, shrimp and/or lobster. Even though the options are numerous, the basic preparation is the same.
2. Invite your guests and ask them to bring an ingredient. Or you can assign an ingredient to each family or person who attends. For example, one family can bring the corn, another can provide sausage and a third might bring potatoes. The host typically provides the main shellfish.
3. Assign a "boil master" to follow the recipe and ensure that the ingredients enter the pot at the proper time.
4. Set up a large table and cover it with newspaper or butcher paper. Once the food has finished cooking, the boil master will dump the boiled shellfish, meats and vegetables onto the table.
5. Grab a plate, and enjoy!
