Seafood Boil

A seafood boil is a shared meal built around shellfish such as shrimp, crab or crawfish, cooked together with corn, potatoes, onions and seasoning, often as the centerpiece of a community or family gathering. Preparation differs by region: Louisiana traditions favor boiling the ingredients in large pots with crab boil seasoning, cayenne, hot sauce and lemon, Maryland Chesapeake Bay tradition steams rather than boils, and New England favors beach pit cooking. Louisiana crawfish boil is the most iconic version, rooted in Cajun and Creole heritage along the Gulf Coast.
