Seafood Boil

[AvitorJake]

Hey,<br /><br />Recently, I went down to the Gulf of Mexico to&nbsp;commemorate my best friends High School Graduation. During that time, beer flowed and good times were had. During that weekend, I cooked up some boil. Cajun style. This style of cooking is relatively easy and very CHEAP not to mention it is quite healthy as well. I plan to move to the Gulf so finding ingredients will be of ease all I have to do catch the fish!<br /><br />Basically, here is what you do;&nbsp;<br /><br />1.) Acquire a Suitable Pot- $20 at Kohls or Wal-Mart<br />2.) Find a boil seasoning at a local market. (I prefer cajun-style)<br />3.) Put 1- 1 1/2 inch of water in pot.<br />4.) Throw all Ingredients in the pot<br />5.) Put boil seasoning into pot at personal preference. Stir occasionally.<br />6.) Cook on medium to low heat on a propane stove for roughly 10-15 minutes<br />7.) Grab a beer<br />8.) Put on low simmer and enjoy!<br /><br />This cost me roughly $40 because of the fish,crab and etcs.. it would have double that had I gone to a&nbsp;restaurant. It would have been $0 had I caught the fish myself.&nbsp;<br /><br />Best Regards,<br /><br />Jake<br /><br />&nbsp;

Jake, Sounds delish! I hope you're planning on sharing that experience with us at the RTR!

<span style="color: #3d3d3d; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">I recently made this recipe for my Uncle who was from LA and he loved it! It took him back to his childhood. It made the entire house smell wonderful! I didn't add as much fennel seed since I'm not a huge fan of it's flavor but the subtle flavor was awesome! We will be making the recipe again!</span>

Got me wondering if this could be done in a thermos / thermal cooker.

I'm from south Louisiana, so we are always going out and catching our own crawfish.&nbsp; And when the shrimp season starts in May I'm going out trawling with my dad and I will be catching more shrimp than I know what to do with.&nbsp; After the season is over, I am planning on getting my first RV and hitting the road for a while.<br /><br /><br />@ Seraphim:&nbsp; I seriously doubt it (I'm not saying for sure you can't) but the way I've always done it and have seen it done, you need a very large pot and a outdoor propane burner.&nbsp; You could get away doing it in small batches on the RV stove but you would need a large soup pot to do it.&nbsp; Also you need to factor in all your "fixins" that go along with a seafood boil.&nbsp; Those include potatoes, corn on the cobb, sausage, onions, garlic, etc.
