That’s it, my friends. I hope you enjoy my seafood boil recipe. Let me know if you make it. I’d love to hear how it turned out for you, and if you decided to spice it up! There are some great seafood boil spice mixes available on the market, but a good Homemade Seafood Boil Seasoning gives you so much flexibility to control the salt and heat levels that you prefer. You can easily make this spice blend ahead of time to make your next boil as easy as it can be. It’s perfect for any type of seafood boil - shrimp boil, crab boil, low country boil, crawfish boil, or any mix of your favorite seafoods. You can even use it as a general spice blend for any of your seafood recipes, much like a Cajun seasoning. It’s incredibly huge on flavor. They’re also easy and convenient to make at home for your own family, as it scales just as easily down for a smaller group. Let’s talk about how to make seafood boil seasoning, shall we?
