The best part? You can easily make it your own by throwing in your favorite seafood and adjusting the spice level. There’s literally no reason not to try this spicy seafood boil recipe rated 4.6 by almost 500 home cooks worldwide! Cooked in a spicy, savory, buttery sauce, the most classic seasoning used for this dish is the Cajun spice blend made with paprika, cayenne pepper, and black pepper, among others. It is a fusion of various cultural influences of Louisiana, including Native American, French, Spanish, and African cuisines. I like to cook mine with just a few seafood selections, such as shrimp, clams, and crawfish. You can always add more, but seafood can be tricky to cook, so it’s best to stick with what you’re familiar with. If you want a simpler dish, you can make my Shrimp Boil and Crawfish Boil recipes instead of mixed seafood. If you love Cajun flavors, try these Cajun-spiced dishes like Honey Cajun Grilled Shrimp and Cajun Chicken! Whatever it is, you just can’t go wrong with it, especially when it’s done with classic Cajun flavors. I’m not from Louisiana, but I’ve tried some authentic Cajun dishes from my travels. And here’s how I recreate it at home: Pro tip: You can easily customize the sauces and seasoning. And if you don’t like it too spicy, just reduce the amount of cayenne pepper.
