Cooking for the Holiday.

I am having a low country boil and beef cook out for Monday. When I make a seafood boil, I use a pre-mix of Cajun boil. It is called Crawfish Crab and Shrimp boil by the Louisiana Fish Fry company. I pay 3.50 for a pound bag of it and it will cook about 50 pounds of seafood with that bag. If you just use a little batch, make sure you don't overdo the boil, it will make it so god damn hot, you will not be able to eat it. I start with a big pot of cold water, just before the water starts to boil, add the season mix, then add fresh or frozen corn on the cob. Then add small whole onions, then some smoked sausage and then some whole white potatoes. Cook for about 20 mintues, then add the seafood, some people add crab, shrimp or lobster. I make mine with just shrimp. Cook for about 4 mintues, don't over cook the shrimp. You will fuck them up good fashion. Take everything off the fire and drain on newspaper or paper plates. I make my own cocktail sauce also. About 4 parts ketckup, juice from one lime, 2 oz of worstershire sauce, and 2 oz of horserashish sauce. Mix very well until smooth. Dip your shrimp in the sause and enjoy, the more horserashish the more heat, so watch out. Enjoy and you can also make boil green peanuts the Cajun way, by add the crab boil mixture instead of salt. Then you will have boiled Cajun peanuts. Hope all of ya'll will have a great and safe hoilday, Cat
