Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients
To perfect your cajun seafood boil recipe, you need three main ingredients:
- Crabby Bag’s Cajun seafood boil in a bag –this bag is an ultimate savior for you if you love seafood boils but don’t want to spend hours scouring the local market for perfect ingredients. With delicious snow crabs, shrimp, sausage, corn, and baby Yukon potatoes, it will save you a ton of time while elevating your recipe to a whole different level.

- Sweet Heat Garlic Butter Sauce –A creamy and buttery touch of Crabby Bag’s sweet heat garlic butter sauce is an absolute must if you want to enjoy the sizzling hot flavors of a Cajun seafood boil.

Step 2: Season Generously, But Thoughtfully
The key to a flavorful boil lies in the seasoning. Traditional Cajun spices—like cayenne, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper—form the base of Cajun crabby seasoning. While adding in your seasoning, make sure you do it generously, but thoughtfully.
Pro tip: add layers of seasoning throughout the cooking process, rather than dumping everything in at the start -especially if you are using additional crabby seasoning. This way, each ingredient absorbs the spices at its optimal time.
Step 3: Timing is Everything!
Not all ingredients cook at the same rate, so pay attention to the timing. Start by boiling potatoes and corn since they take longer to cook. After 10-15 minutes, add sausage and seafood. Shrimp and crawfish cook quickly, so they should only be added in the last few minutes to prevent overcooking. This staggered approach ensures each component is cooked to perfection. Just add your bag to boiling water as instructed on your bag –The internal temperature should be 145° F.
Step 4: Don’t Skimp on the Fat
A well-kept Cajun secret is adding butter to the boil. Once everything is cooked, a generous amount of melted butter with Cajun seasoning drizzled over the top brings the dish together, coating everything in rich, flavorful goodness. You can also toss a stick or two of butter into the boil for added richness. The butter not only enhances the spices but also adds a velvety texture to every bite. For a real kick, try mixing in garlic and herbs with the butter before pouring it over your boil.
Step 5: Use Quality Ingredients
Your boil is only as good as your seafood. High-quality shrimp, crawfish, crab, and clams make a huge difference in flavor and texture. Crabby Bag‘s boil bags contain the best and the most delicious ingredients. The Cajun seafood boil bag contains snow crabs caught off the coast of Canada, while shrimps are caught off the coast of MS and LA, USA.
