Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 pound Snow crab legs
- 8 ounces Kielbasa sausage, sliced
- 2 medium Zucchini, sliced into thick rounds
- 1 large Yellow onion, quartered
- 1 Lemon, halved
- 3 tablespoons Old Bay seasoning
- 4 Garlic cloves, smashed
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 8 cups Water
- 1 tablespoon Sea salt
Instructions
Fill a large stockpot with 8 cups of water. Add the sea salt, smashed garlic cloves, and Old Bay seasoning. Squeeze the juice from the lemon halves into the pot and then drop in the lemon halves.
Bring the seasoned water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, add the quartered onion and sliced sausage. Reduce the heat to medium-high and let it simmer for 10 minutes.
Add the crab legs to the pot and cook for 5 minutes. Then add the zucchini rounds and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Stir in the jumbo shrimp and cook until they turn pink and opaque, about 4-5 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat and keep warm.
Using a large slotted spoon, carefully remove the seafood boil ingredients from the pot, allowing excess liquid to drain off and transfer them to a large serving platter or directly onto a clean, covered table.
Pour the melted butter over the boiled mixture or serve it on the side as a dipping sauce.
Garnish your seafood boil with additional lemon wedges if desired and enjoy your low-carb meal!
