Cajun Boil Surprise
Men love this one! You will need a Turkey
Frier pot with a colander basket.
This is an OUTDOOR event!
Put enough water in the pot to boil a large amount
of vegetables and meat - but not so much that when
boiling, it boils over the top of the pot.
According the to the directions, add enough
"Shrimp & Crab Boil" Cajun spices to flavor the
pot. (McCormick spices has a box with 2
spice bags included called 'GoldenDipt' Shrimp &
Crab Boil)
Have everyone who comes to the potluck bring food
to add to the pot (that's the surprise)
Suggestions:
-
Crab legs
-
Shrimp
-
Chicken breasts (chicken cooks fast - keep an
eye on it and remove before falling apart)
-
Link sausages or brats
-
Cut steak meat (hamburger falls apart)
-
Clams (please be sure to wash the shells first!)
-
Celery = the whole bunch
-
Corn on the Cob
-
Red Potatoes (white potatoes are like chicken
and need to be watched)
-
Onions
-
Carrots
-
Leeks
-
Other
Taking into consideration, the type of meat or
vegetable and how quickly it cooks, watch the pot
and boil according to the directions on the Cajun
boil spice box.
Here's the part the men like ...
Have a table prepared with butcher paper or a
clean sheet on top - pull the colander basket from
the pot (careful! its hot!) and just
dump onto the clean table.
With plates and forks in hands - guests stab and
grab what they want. Its a wonderful
free-for-all and a real ice breaker!
