🌶️ 2 tablespoons chili powder
🧈 1/2 cup unsalted butter
🍋 1 lemon, sliced
🌿 1 tablespoon dried thyme
🧂 1 tablespoon salt
⚫ 1 tablespoon black pepper
🥄 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
🌿 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
1- Prep the Ingredients:
- Begin by thoroughly cleaning all the seafood. Scrub the mussels and soak them in cold water for 20 minutes to remove sand. Rinse the shrimp, crab legs, and lobster tails.
- Cut the potatoes in half and slice the corn into thirds.
2- Boil the Potatoes and Corn:
- In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and corn, and cook for about 10 minutes until they are slightly tender. Remove them with a slotted spoon and set aside.
3- Prepare the Spicy Garlic Butter:
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the chili powder, smoked paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Add lemon slices and cook for another 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and set aside.
4- Cook the Seafood:
- In the same large pot, bring the water back to a boil. Add the crab legs and lobster tails, cooking for 5 minutes. Add the shrimp and mussels, and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the shrimp turn pink and the mussels open up.
5- Combine Everything:
- Drain the cooked seafood and transfer them to a large serving platter. Add the boiled potatoes and corn. Pour the spicy garlic butter sauce evenly over the seafood and vegetables.
6- Serve:
- Garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately with lemon wedges. Enjoy the juicy, flavorful seafood boil with your favorite dipping sauces.
