King Crab Boil

King Crab Boil refers to a culinary dish often associated with Southern cuisine, particularly popular in regions like Louisiana in the United States. It typically consists of king crab legs, along with other ingredients such as corn on the cob, potatoes, sausage, and various spices and seasonings.

The dish is prepared by boiling these ingredients together in a large pot, seasoned with spices like Old Bay seasoning, Cajun seasoning, or a custom blend of spices. Once everything is cooked, it's typically served family-style, often spread out on a table covered with newspapers or butcher paper for a communal dining experience.

King Crab Boil is known for its rich flavors and hearty portions, making it a favorite for gatherings and celebrations. It's often associated with a casual, festive atmosphere, where people can gather around and enjoy delicious seafood together.

Blove sauce is a popular sauce used in seafood boils, particularly associated with Blove's Smackalicious Sauce, which is a combination of various seasonings and condiments. Here's a recipe for a King Crab Boil with Blove sauce:

Ingredients:

• 3-4 pounds of king crab legs
• 1 pound of large shrimp, deveined and shell-on
• 2-3 ears of corn, shucked and halved
• 1 pound of baby potatoes
• 1 pound of smoked sausage or Andouille sausage, sliced into rounds
• 4 tablespoons of butter
• Blove's Smackalicious Sauce (or similar seafood boil sauce)
• Cajun seasoning (optional, for extra spice)
• Lemon wedges (for serving)
• Chopped parsley (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Season the water with Cajun seasoning if desired.
2. Once the water is boiling, add the baby potatoes. Cook for about 10 minutes or until the potatoes are slightly tender.
3. Add the sausage slices and corn to the pot. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.
4. Add the king crab legs to the pot. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the crab legs are heated through.
5. Finally, add the shrimp to the pot and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.
6. Once everything is cooked, carefully drain the contents of the pot into a large colander or strainer.
7. In a separate small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add Blove's Smackalicious Sauce to the butter and stir well to combine. Adjust the amount of sauce according to your preference for spiciness and flavor.
8. Transfer the drained seafood, potatoes, sausage, and corn to a large serving platter or bowl.
9. Pour the Blove sauce over the seafood boil and toss gently to coat everything evenly.
10. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the seafood.
