Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Seafood

    In a large bowl, combine the large shrimp, snow crab legs, mussels, and clams. Rinse them under cold water to clean and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Cut the corn on the cob into halves and quarter the potatoes. Set aside.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Boil the Potatoes and Corn

    In a large pot, bring 4 quarts of water to a boil. Add 2 tablespoons of salt and the quartered potatoes. Cook for 10 minutes, then add the corn halves and cook for another 5 minutes.

  2. 4

    Add the Seafood

    Carefully add the shrimp, snow crab legs, mussels, and clams to the boiling pot. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes or until the shrimp are pink and the mussels and clams have opened.

Making the Sauce

  1. 5

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in Old Bay seasoning, lemon juice, hot sauce, and black pepper. Adjust the heat level by adding more hot sauce if desired.

  2. 6

    Combine Seafood and Sauce

    Once the seafood is cooked, drain the pot but reserve some of the broth. In a large bowl, combine the seafood with the prepared sauce and mix well. If the mixture seems dry, add a splash of the reserved broth.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve the Seafood Boil

    Transfer the seafood boil to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy with extra lemon wedges and hot sauce on the side.
