Shrimp & Crab Boil

Until a few years ago, I would NEVER have thought about doing a crab boil at home. Then my friend Curtis mentioned that he “threw some crab and sausage and old bay seasoning in a pot” for an easy dinner, and all of a sudden I was like…wait a minute. Seafood takes just a few minutes to make and if I do it at home it’ll be significantly cheaper…hell yeah…count me IN. The reason this recipe takes up to 30 minutes is because of the extras like corn, potatoes and sausage. The corn…meh, it’s just corn, but the sausage? Yes ma’am.
