crab boil on foil

Host your very own crab boil at home in a very easy way!  This can can get messy, but with proper preparation, don't be afraid to have it indoors or over carpet if you're feeling risky!  lol.

Start by covering your table with foil.  Tape the long pieces together and crunch around the edges so it stays nice and tight.  Cut place mats out of butcher paper but before you tape them down, place a paper towel under each one so it soaks up liquid.  

The cooking part is actually very simple and fast too!

Boil water in large crab pot, add crab boil spice packet (from grocery store).

Place corn on the cob and small russet potatoes in for approx. 5 minutes.

Add Louisiana sausage and shrimp.

A couple minutes later, strain those 4 items out.

Then add Dungenus crab to the same water for 5 minutes.

Pull that out and place in King crab for 5 minutes.  

Dump all items in middle of table and eat with your hands!
