2 teaspoonsparsley

1 teaspoonlemon zest

2 tablespoonsfresh lemon juice

Instructions

Step 1

Potatoes and Corn

Step 2

Bring a large pot with water on the stove to boil. The pot should be large enough to fit the potatoes and corn.

Step 3

Add the potatoes and corn to the pot and boil for 10-13 minutes. Pierce the potatoes with a fork. They should be fork-tender, but not falling apart.

Step 4

Remove them from the water and set them aside.

Step 5

Garlic Butter Sauce

Step 6

Place a skillet or saucepan on medium heat and add the butter.

Step 7

When melted, add the remaining ingredients and stir. Stir for 3-4 minutes until combined.

Step 8

Seafood Boil Bag

Step 9

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Step 10

Add the shrimp, crab legs, sausage, potatoes, and corn to the oven bag. Drizzle the butter sauce throughout. Tie the bag to seal it.

Step 11

Toss the contents around in the bag to ensure the butter is fully coated.

Step 12

Place the bag on a sheet pan or in a baking dish in the oven.

Step 13

Bake for 20-30 minutes.

Step 14

Keep a watchful eye because bake time will vary based on your oven. After 10-12 minutes I like to flip the bag over and continue to bake. While flipping, I examine the seafood. You want to be sure the shrimp cooks evenly and consistently.

Step 15

Shrimp will turn bright pink when cooked. Crab should be cooked until the flesh is pearly or white, and opaque. Examine the shoulder (this is the large white part of the cluster). It should be pearly white.

Step 16

I usually bake for around 25 minutes. Bake for however long it takes to cook the seafood.

Step 17

If you aren't serving the boil immediately, drain the excess butter from the bag into a bowl for dipping the seafood. As the bag stands at room temperature (out of the oven) the butter will start to harden. That will make it harder to enjoy it. Pour it out into a bowl, that way it can be reheated and enjoyed if necessary.
