Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    In a large pot, add the baby potatoes and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Sausage

    In the same pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced spicy sausage and sauté until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Garlic and Seasoning

    Stir in minced garlic and red pepper flakes, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the shrimp, mussels, and cooked potatoes back into the pot. Pour in the lemon juice and add salt and black pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Simmer

    Pour in 4 cups of water and bring to a gentle simmer. Cover and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until mussels open and shrimp are cooked through.

  6. 6

    Add Fresh Basil

    Remove the pot from heat and stir in the chopped fresh basil. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the Sassy Basil Boil hot, ensuring to include a mix of shrimp, mussels, sausage, and potatoes in each bowl.
