Made this at the firehouse and they loved it! No crab though, we’re on a budget. Also, someone had the idea to throw some leftover eggs in the boil. The hard boiled eggs turned out surprisingly awesome after tossing them with them with everything else.

Interesting. I’ve done a fair number of Low Country Boils. I’ve never used all the extra spices you did but I use 10x the crab boil seasoning. I like the garlic butter sauce - how would you do that in bulk?
Last weekend, we did a Boil with 50 lbs each of potatoes, corn, sausage, and shrimp.
Hey Don! Thanks so much for checking out the video and for your question...which, by the way, is a really GREAT question!
WOW! 50lbs.! I haven't cooked THAT much before, but If I were to do so, I'd try to use a large, deep aluminum pan (similar to the pan I used in the video), or a turkey roasting pan with some of the garlic butter sauce in the pan to toss the smaller items (shrimp, corn, sausage, potatoes, etc.)
Now, for the Snow Crab clusters (after tossing the smaller items), maybe use 2 large aluminum pans. One with sauce, and one with the Snow Crab clusters. It may be cumbersome, but I'd pour the sauce from the one pan over the crab cluster in the 2nd pan, then transfer the crabs to the first pan (arranging them so the non-coated sides are exposed), then repeat the process until they are coated to your desire tastes. Again, this is just a suggestion as I've never cooked that much seafood at one time!
Please come back and let me know how it turns out if you're able to try it...or if you come up with a different method, please share that with us here as well. There's always more than one way to accomplish a given task! :^ )
Thanks again for your comments and questions. I'm very appreciative!
Barry

can we get a ratio on the ingredients sir please going to try it looks amazing
Hi @garyschmid9607 ! Thank you so much for reaching out and please accept my apologies for not responding sooner!
The ratio for the ingredients for the actual crab boil really depends on the size of the pot you're using. In my video, I used a pretty large boiling pot, so I used about a 1/4 cup for each spice...except for your salt.
Now...having said that, the most important ingredients are going to be your SALT and the CRAB BOIL CONCENTRATE. Always add your salt first and add a little at a time until you've reached your desired taste. (if you add too much salt, just add more water or pour some out the pot, then add more water to thin the salt content). THEN add all your other seasonings (...this way, if you have to adjust your initial salt content, you don't waste all the other seasonings)!
When adding the Crab Boil Concentrate, be VERY careful as to how much of this you use. It is VERY STRONG and too much could ruin your boil!
For the butter sauce, again, it depends on how much you're cooking. I would start with a teaspoon...taste the butter mixture, then add more if needed. Here again, the amount of seasonings you add should be proportionate to the amount of melted butter you're using. Start small...it's always easier to add more seasonings, then it is to try to take out after the fact! :^ )
So...to your original question, the larger the pot, the more the salt/seasonings; the smaller the pot, less seasonings. Same for the butter sauce...the more butter, add just a bit more seasonings.
I hope this helps. Please message me if you have any other questions and I'd love to hear how things turn out for you!
I adore your voice…
Thank you for your kind words! Much appreciated! 🙏🏽
Everything I know I learned from this guy
I'm sure I can only take credit for a tiny portion of that, but your kind words are greatly appreciated! Thank you. 🙏🏽
Aloha Barry, was that portugeese sausage ? is the oil on island, if so, where can I find that oil on island please?
Aloha J., and mahalo for your question!
The sausage I used was actually:
Brand: Farmer John's
Type: Louisiana Style Hot Smoked Sausage
Where Purchased: Costco
For the seafood boil seasoning, you should be able to find it in your local grocer's Seafood Dept. If not, I've seen it available on Amazon as well.
I hope this information helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions.
I hope you enjoy your seasonings and thank you so much for checking out my channel and especially for subscribing!

Can you please tell us how actually big your pot …how many Quartz?
Hello @LesyaPerry and thank you so much for your question.
The stock pot I used is one I've had for years, so I don't remember the exact capacity, but I recently purchased a different stock pot, and based on the capacity of the new pot, would say the pot I used was approximately 20qrts.
Of course, your pot doesn't have to be that big, but that was the approximate size I used.
I hope this information was helpful to you, and thank you again for your question and for watching the video. 😃👍🏾
How much does each pack of butter weigh?
Hi...and thanks so much for your question.
In the video, the sticks of butter I used were packaged as ½ sticks of butter.
Normally, a whole stick of butter would be 8 tbsp or a ½ cup. Again, the sticks I used were packaged as ½ sticks, so the ones I used measured out to about 4 tbsp or ¼ cup each.
I hope this helps, and thank you again for taking the time to reach out to me! 😊👍🏾
Yummy
Thanks so much for your comments! I truly appreciate it! ☺️👍🏽 I hope you get a chance to try it out! 😀
Smoked paprika
Roasting bag
2 butter
Onion
lemon
Garlic
Chopped garlic
Your list sounds like the start of an awesome Low Country Boil! 😃👍🏾
Where is the Old Bay
@drewnormand7253 Hi! I used to use Old Bay, but since I started using the Zatarain's, I found that I'm able to use far less of the Zatarain's concentrated liquid and get just as much (if not more) flavor than the Old Bay! But you can definitely still add the Old Bay seasonings to the Boil! 😊👍🏾
Thanks for your email and for checking out the video, and I hope you get a chance to try the recipe! 🙏🏾
What is that green stuff?
Hi, and thanks for your comment!
The green that you see is a light dusting of parsley flakes as a garnish! 😀👍🏽
Is butter unsalted?
Hi, and thank you for your question!
For this recipe, I used regular, salted butter. Great question...thank you for asking and I hope you're able to give the recipe a try! :^ )
What’s the green garnish?
Hi @jimmydunsing9652 and thanks so much for the question. The green garnish I used was parsley flakes. I used the dried parsley flakes in the bottle, but you also purchase fresh parsley and choo it up yourself! 😃👍🏾
Thanks again for your question and for checking out my videos...and I hope you'll subscribe!

Well...in Alabama we say "you doing too much" like when an inexperienced bartender thinks a "kitchen sink" bloody Mary is good. Food is like BB King said about the blues "it ain't about the notes you play, it's about the ones you don't"
Well, sir...what you see as me "doing too much," may be viewed as "not doing enough" to the next person! But I am VERY appreciative of your comments and perspective.
I was born and raised in Georgia and I'm VERY familiar with and LOVE B.B. King, in fact I've even played on stage with his son. But I also like Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Robert Johnson, and John Lee Hooker. Having said that, I'm also appreciative of the fact that we've all been blessed with "Freedom of Choice!"
So on the days I'm not in the mood for Blues, I may listen to Jazz, or Funk, or Rock...I even love listening to Zydeco! But what I don't do is judge those who don't like what I like or who don't listen to what I listen to. Instead, I take the opportunity to appreciate their differences and learn something new from them in the process!
Thank you again, sir...for sharing your thoughts...yet another opportunity for me to learn from someone else!
Better to be overseasoned than underseasoned. Brought to you byGeorgia Gang
what you did with the sauce in the pot?
Good question, my friend!
All of the seasonings I put in the pot was to flavor all the ingredients during the cooking process. I did keep some of the flavored boil liquid in the pot if I had leftovers to store (that hadn't been seasoned with the Garlic-Butter sauce) but otherwise, I didn't use any of it after everything was cooked and seasoned with the Garlic-Butter sauce.
Thanks for your question! 😃👍🏽
@@barryskitchen question why asking can you add half/half or heavy whipping cream to it & make a creamy sauce with it to add -on? sure it would be a great addition to the bag/side sauce ... what you think because i want to make it too lol
@@MRSJMORGAN08 I haven't tried that, but I TOTALLY like the idea and will definitely give it a try! Thanks so much for the suggestion and when I do, I'll definitely give you a shout-out for suggesting it! 😃👍🏽
@@barryskitchen I'm sure you'll make it perfect cant wait to see how it turns out...
@@MRSJMORGAN08 Thanks again for the suggestion! 🙏🏽
Can you add lobster tails? And when?
Hello, @BSmith51 and thank you for your question.
The short answer to your question is yes.
I've cooked and grilled lobster before, but I haven't specifically put them in my boils...just as a personal choice. But you can totally add lobster tails to your boil. When (or if you do), here are a few things to consider:
- Space: Depending on the size of the lobster tails and the size of the pot you're using, the tails (along with all the other ingredients) may take up a lot of space. If the lobsters are smaller (like 4-6 oz.), you could cut them in half, lengthwise, from the tailfin to the front. If they're larger, you could cut them in chunks crossways. This could save you space, and it will make the meat more accessible after cooking.
- I would add the tails just before the shrimp (about 3-5 minutes prior). If you've cut them as outlined above, then (like the shrimp) the lobster "peices" shouldn't take long to cook. The shell should be a dark orangish-red.
- As with the shrimp, you'll want to add them near the end of the cooking/boiling process, but you want the seafood FULLY COOKED, but not "overcooked." Otherwise, your shrimp (and/or lobster) will have a tough, rubbery texture.
I hope this helps answer your question, and if you use the lobster tails, come back and let us know how it went! I'm sure you'll enjoy adding the lobster pieces to your Low Country Boil! 😃👍🏽
7:03 that shrimp on top
Still grey through most from
Not stirring it all through
Thanks so much for your comments! Yes, you are correct...at that point in the video, they were cooked through about ¾ of the way, but because the shrimp cook so quickly (2 to 3 minutes) they were perfect by the time I was ready for the sauce! 😀👍🏽
Thanks again for your comments! 😊
now thats how you make a boil!
Like subbed!
Thanks! Just my little twist on a Southern favorite!
wow... look yummm
Thank you so much! I hope you get a chance to try it out! 😀👍🏽
