please take a quick second to subscribe to the channel make sure to hit that bell enable notifications as well all right guys meet me in the kitchen let's make it happen we're starting with our ingredients here we have two yellow onions one head of garlic some corn some red potatoes and two lemons this recipe is super easy guys we're gonna go ahead and start prepping this corn by showing everybody how strong you are you can use a knife or just break them in half like you see me doing right here either way it doesn't really matter make sure you clean all of your veggies beforehand we've already cleaned and dried these potatoes now we're gonna cut them in half that way they cook a little bit faster there we go this dow strong cleaver's making easy work of these potatoes i'm using about two pounds or so of red potatoes as always guys specific measurements and ingredients can be found in the description box below so don't forget to check that out we're gonna go ahead and cut these lemons in half and we're gonna do the same thing with our onions the onions are there for flavor guys we're not really gonna eat those unless that's your thing same thing with the garlic we're gonna cut the end off the garlic we're gonna use the whole head of garlic here moving on to our sausage so today we're using some beef kielbasa but you can use whatever sausage you want turkey chicken whatever you like whatever floats your boat we're gonna cut these into two inch pieces like you see me doing right here and set those aside until we need them in just a few minutes you guys let me know in the comments what your favorite part of the seafood boil is here's all of our ingredients that we're going to be using outside of the seafood our lemon our garlic our onions our corn our sausage our potatoes everything that makes a delicious seafood boil now i'm going to show you guys how to prep our mussels mussels have a beard on them and not the one that's well manicured like i have this is a dirty beard that you want to remove you also want to brush them and get rid of any sand or dirt that you might see also guys if you see any muscles that are cracked or broken like this one right here you want to throw those away that's not safe to eat it can make you sick also if any of the muscles are already opened all the way you want to remove those and throw those away as well once they're nice and clean run them under some cold water just to make sure you got everything out of there and then they're going to be good to go we can set those aside until we need to cook them now we're moving on to our lobster tails wegmans already cut stairs partially for me which makes my life a little bit easier we're going to go ahead and cut these in half as well you do want to clean your lobster tails also because there is a nasty little vein that runs through the back of them you're about to see me remove that always remove the vein from your lobster tails especially ones that look like this one and then we're going to clean them with some salt water just make sure we get everything out of there so once you've cut your lobster tails in half add them to a bowl and then we're going to run them under some cold water with a little bit of salt just to make sure we get everything nice and clean there we go you can use whatever seafood you want for this boil guys it doesn't have to be lobster tail and mussels uh you can just do crab legs and shrimp if you want this is the pot that i'm using i picked this up from home depot it's a 30 quart pot and now my friends for the star of the show these seafood boil restaurants are popping up all over the country and my personal favorite is juicy crab they have their own seasoning here and it's fantastic i've linked to it in the description box below so you can check it out and try it out for yourself now we're making our garlic butter so i'm going in with two sticks of kerrygold butter and a half a stick of my compound butter i've linked to that recipe in the description box as well we're gonna melt that butter it looks super healthy in there right next we're going in with some fresh lemon juice about a half a lemon worth of lemon juice probably one to two tablespoons if you're using the stuff in the jar then we're going in with three tablespoons of garlic paste you can use minced garlic or fresh garlic as well another reminder guys all the specific measurements and ingredients can be found in the description box below so don't forget to check that out give that a nice whisk and then we're going in with this delicious juicy crab season and this is the star of the show man it really makes the seafood boil come to life a couple tablespoons of that you want to season the taste it's not too too salty so you can go kind of heavy on it but you know adjust the season into your preference everybody's salt preference is a little different but i'm telling you this garlic butter sauce is amazing look at that say it with me guys looking good all right we got our water up to a boil we got about eight quarts of water in there i'm going in with one tablespoon of roasted garlic better than bouillon and one tablespoon of lobster base give that a nice mix that's going to add some nice flavor to our water and then we're going in with about a quarter cup or so of this juicy crab seasoning followed by two lemons going in with that garlic from earlier those onions you can leave the skins on guys again they're just there for flavor we're not really going to eat those but they're going to add some delicious flavor to our seafood boil and then we're going in with our potatoes so you want to boil those potatoes for about 10 minutes because they take the longest to cook so put the lid on there let those potatoes get nice and tender and then we'll check back in on them in just a second all right so it's been about 10 minutes our potatoes are getting nice and tender now we're going in with our beef kielbasa or whatever sausage you decide to use and let that roll for about five minutes or so then we're gonna go in with those king crab legs and three pounds of snow crab legs make sure you clean all your seafood as well sometimes you get them from the store it just doesn't look too hot so make sure they're nice and clean added those lobster tails also after about eight minutes we're going to go in with our corn that doesn't really take that long to cook so you want to add that towards the end nobody likes that mushy corn guys and then we're going in with our shrimp and our mussels can't forget that all-purpose seasoning and a little bit of the juicy crab seasoning put the lid back on another five to seven minutes and once the shrimp and the mussels are done your seafood boil is ready to eat your house is gonna be smelling phenomenal aunts and uncles will come over that you haven't seen in years they want to eat all your food at least that's what happens at my house
