I have done many a crab boil but I followed your instructions yesterday. My son came home from Bahrain on leave from the Navy and I wanted to make him something special. He loves seafood so we decided to have a boil. I cooked everything in the order that you did and made your “Hallelujah sauce” with almost every ingredient that you used except I didn’t have reg paprika, I had smoked & I only had original old bay not the “hot”. As a blessing from above, I happened to have the same type of crab paste that you used-ON HAND!! Just a week ago, I made a crab fried rice and the recipe I was using called for “crab paste with soybean oil” & I had picked it up from my local Asian market so meant to be. When I type this next sentence, I mean it with my whole heart. It was THE BEST sauce I’ve ever had with a crab boil. We had to feed 11 people so I tripled the sauce ingredients. My grandmother, who is Samoan, and has eaten crab & shrimp for most of her life, also told me it was the best sauce she ever had. I am beyond thankful for your video and recipe! We will make your sauce every time from here on out🤩

Nice! I’m going to try your crab sauce with my crab boil. I like to cut my potatoes however if they come out mushy, you cooked them too long. I stagger the cooking of the different ingredients until everything has reached the pot. I usually turn off the heat and then throw the seafood in and just let it sit until it cooks. Then pull it everything and pour the sauce.

I've never had a seafood crab boil. It looks so amazing. Last time I was in Louisiana, I was working on a government military job and didn't have any time to go to Mardi Gras or any crab boil parties I was invited to. I had to suffer through 4 weeks of take out food like KFC, and McDonalds and Denny's. That was followed by 3 more months in other states with no home cooked meals, hardly any sleep and harassment at the Detroit border trying to get back into Canada. lol. Border patrol couldn't understand why we couldn't tell them what we were doing in the states for so long without buying anything lol. Even with government paper work they were still acting like idiots. Sorry got off topic. Man your shit looks so damn good.
