Description
A smoky, spicy one-pot seafood boil featuring turkey sausage, shrimp, crab, and potatoes. Bold Cajun and Old Bay flavors are elevated by a zesty garlic-butter sauce, perfect for casual feasts or weeknight dinners.
Ingredients
1½ cups water
3 tbsp Cajun seasoning
2 tbsp Old Bay seasoning
2 tbsp hot sauce
1 large onion
1–2 lemon wedges
4 links turkey sausage
1½ lbs baby potatoes
1 lb snow crab clusters
1 lb jumbo shrimp
4 ears corn on the cob
½ cup unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp smoked paprika
¼ cup chopped parsley
Instructions
Bring a large stockpot to high heat and add 1½ cups water, the halved onion, 3 tbsp Cajun seasoning, 2 tbsp Old Bay seasoning, hot sauce, and smoked paprika. Bring to a rolling boil.
Cook turkey sausages in the boiling mixture for 5-7 minutes, turning until browned.
Add potatoes and corn (buttered) to the pot. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 15-20 minutes until tender.
Toss in shrimp (shelled with tails) and crab clusters. Cook for 5-7 minutes until shrimp turn pink and crab is heated through.
In a small saucepan, melt butter, sauté garlic, lemon juice, and parsley until fragrant. Add 1 tbsp Old Bay to the sauce.
Gently stir the garlic butter sauce into the boil. Adjust spice or seasoning if desired.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges and extra parsley.
Notes
Use 1½ tbsp Cajun seasoning for milder heat.
Add oysters or crab legs for a richer version.
Clarified butter enhances the sauce’s clean finish.
For a toddler-friendly version, reduce hot sauce and Cajun seasoning.
