Serving Suggestions for Seafood Boil
Seafood boils are delicious as-is but can be enhanced with a few side items:
- French Bread – Perfect for sopping up any extra garlic butter.
- Coleslaw – Adds a refreshing crunch to the meal.
- Salad – A light green salad complements the richness of the seafood.
- Lemon Garlic Aioli – A creamy dip for the potatoes, corn, or sausage.
Tips for the Best Seafood Boil
- Adjust Spice to Taste: For a mild version, reduce the Cajun seasoning or use a milder alternative. For extra heat, add a few dashes of hot sauce to the garlic butter.
- Don’t Overcook the Seafood: Add each seafood type according to its cooking time to ensure everything cooks evenly and nothing becomes rubbery.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: If possible, use fresh seafood for the best flavor and texture.
