Now you can make Boiling crab's The Whole Sha-bang seasoned seafood in the comfort of your home! This step-by-step guide is easy to follow and is extremely close to the real thing. Your friends and family will be so impressed!

[@feliciab.8710]

I live in Louisiana, and instead of putting shrimp in lemon water put the shrimp directly into the cajun mixture and cook. Than take the lemon and squeeze over or serve beside the dish. You will find the shrimp is juicer and taste better and the flavor is off the chain. try it!

[@devonpuryear7355]

that's what I was saying, especially since the skin is still on

[@feliciab.8710]

Yes, good day

[@Hengel_Andrews]

felicia b. They made an easy thing very hard and laborious. They're probably not really food people just people trying for KZbin fame. The words and the instructions weren't those any who really cooks would use.

[@Mags765]

Any suggestions.... i just tried it and its really salty

[@Fideo008]

Hugo Mexicano did you use unsalted butter? If not then that’s probably why. And also make sure that you are using Salt-Free Lemon Pepper. Let me know how that works out instead! (:

I made this recipe a few times already and is divine i tweeked it a bit though. I added onion powder garlic powder and mustard powder too. Also squeezed a lemon in the sauce. I didnt boil the shrimp in water either. I tossed them in the sauce. Simmered for about 8 minutes and they were perfect. Tastes exactly like boiling crab

This technique is 100x better than what I’ve seen on KZbin. It’s so underrated. Parboiling the shrimp and cooking in batches is key here.

Hi, thanks for this recipe! I made this 3 times in the past 2 weeks - so good! I was craving Boiling Crab in Las Vegas so I decided to try it. I was impressed! I made a few changes the second time around - I cut all the spices down (except Old Bay Seasoning and Lemon Pepper) to 1 tablespoon. It was a little too spicy for me when I added 2 tablespoons. I love the heads and legs! Thanks again!

[@Believe-rr8xr]

Love this video have followed receipe 5 times. Its delicious!

[@ktsou11]

This is a great recipe for the taste but when I first made it, the sauce would be really "grainy" due to all the spices. It was also on the saltier side. To make the sauce slightly thicker and to get rid of the "graininess", take a cup of the boiled shrimp water and add 3 tbsp of cornstarch mix the water and cornstarch and then mix it into the sauce. I did it while the shrimp was already in the sauce so I just stirred it over low heat for a few minutes and it did dissolve the spices and thickened the sauce! It didn't dilute the taste! Good luck!

I dit it too and it was great

[@feliciab.8710]

Hi and thanks for asking. I don't use water instead I cover with a tight fitting pot lid and let the pot produce the liquid. But before I add the seasoning to the seafood so that the seasoning can cook with the seafood to achieve Optimum flavor. please don't over cook your seafood and try letting it soak or marinade in their juices for and few minutes (about 10 minutes) before serving. Happy Eating!

[@feliciab.8710]

This recipe is for New Orleans style Bbq shrimp. To Boiled crawfish you do need plenty water. Salt, cayenne pepper, (plenty) garlic, onions, celery! Smoke sausage, potatoes, corn, mushrooms, lemons. And a big container of seasoning boil for seafood Like Zatarains Seafood Boil. And for the special guest to the party crawfish, shrimp, crabs or lobster. This would be better cooked in a crawfish boiling pot but can be done on a stove top, just adjust your ingredients for your pot size. never throw out your boing liquid until you have finished, it can be refreshed by adding more seasoning and it taste better. This is considered liquid gold! After boiling always let your seafood soak about 20 minutes before pulling it out of the boiling water or your seafood will not absorb enough taste. I hope this help! Happy Eating! Enjoy!

I tried cooking lemon with peel and it got really bitter.

[@tranlily3001]

I'm Vietnamese, in Asian we don't put lemon in hot sauce when you're still cooking, it's make it taste bitter. We use pineapple to sauce to make it more sweet without using sugar (even in restaurant they using this trick too). I use alots garlic, garlic blend so well with seafood. It's not just taste yummy but also is healthy!!! Next time, when you finish cooking then put lemon on & use pineapple or pineapple in sauce when you're cooking, it's taste so good, sweet, smell good. If you want more sweet then you more pineapple, if you just want blend the sweet & bitter, salt then use a fews piece of pineapple (I don't speak English well, I hope this help you)

[@ashleyb3562]

Good to know.

[@wyldeslash2003]

This recipe is based on a very, VERY popular restaurant in California, Boiling Crab. It’s based on a Vietnamese style of seasoning, I believe. They use the word “Louisiana” as sort of an adjective, so yes, I agree with you. This isn’t how you make real Louisiana style shrimp. I highly recommend trying this out though. it is absolutely delicious. Or maybe you can find a “Boiling Crab” near you in the future. It is well worth the wait!

[@pdav1285]

***** I think Boiling Crab is actually kind of a Vietnamese-Cajun fusion sort of thing.

[@annettevillanueva1077]

***** What if I just like the rajun cajun flavor from BC. Do I simply omit the lemon pepper? Or do I change anything else? Thanks

[@deannapeaden14]

hi John can you show how you do it the right way thanks

[@Autumn_moon1111]

OKAY SO HERE IS MY REVIEW. I followed the recipe exactly, and i didNOT like the final results. The butter, basically FRIED the seasonings. After about 15 minutes, the seasoning thickened.. okay no biggie. I kept stirring as the recipe said. I turned off the mixture at about 25 minutes. It wasnt burned per-se but there was this slightly mild charcoal esque taste to it. The seasoning was this thick and black and burned looking but my house didnt smell of something burned. This is after cooking it on med heat, which I decided to simmer after 15 minutes. The presentation was not appealing. It was like rolling the shrimp around in black greasy soil. I didnt like it at all. My husband said that it was okay (i think that he was trying to let me down easy), but i know what good cajun shrimp look/tastes like. If i made it over, i would definitely not set it on the stove for 30 minutes...more like 10-15 minutes tops, because when your finish cooking it, the butter is so hot that it still cooks the seasoning. I give it 2 stars...and im being nice.

[@felipeoros8723]

+Isha Ahmon i really hope you realize that youre giving youself 2 stars. This recipe is great, mind you there should have been a disclaimer bringing to light that if you cant cook, then youre bound to fuck this dish up lol Keep on trucking and try again babygirl.

[@Autumn_moon1111]

+Puro Oro Nope you try again... That shit was *TERRIBLE*...and btw i actually can cook, thats how i know that the infusion of spices cooking for *30 MINUTES IN BUTTER*... was a bad idea. I followed their instruction to a tee, and even went against my own judgement, just to do what they did. If you read though these comments, you see that im not the only one who ended up with thick nasty black butter-fried seasoning that look like wet soil. Others have either complained about it, like i have, or they changed up the recipe bc they know that this recipe isnt right. I know what Cajun shrimp taste like, and this shit isnt it.... Now if they missed adding a step in the video- that they did- then thats not my fault that this mess came out nasty af

[@hungrybynature4205]

+Indigo B I'm from Louisiana as well. New Orleans to be exact. I don't know any Asian seafood places that make shrimp like this and I've been to pretty much all of them. This is my opinion, this style is more from California. Even Texas has their own way of making boiled shrimp/crawfish. I always laugh when people say "Cajun seasoning."

[@hungrybynature4205]

However, the "whole shabang" is almost similar to what we call "BBQ shrimp," but no one in Louisiana will just boil their shrimp separate from the actual flavor.
