Tired of going to the seafood boil restaurants? Make make my Ultimate seafood boil recipe, with my creole garlic sauce!
It’s officially Fish Fry season cousins!! You know what that means right?! It is a MUST that your seafood boil recipe is on POINT! I don’t want y’all out there using that bottled stuff either! I’m going to show you how season your seafood boil, WITHOUT using the store bought seafood boil seasoning- AND it’s going to taste even better!
So if you’ve been following me for a while, you know that I shared a seafood boil recipe a few years back. However, I have stepped my game up, so I want y’all to step your game up as well with my Ultimate Seafood Boil recipe.
How to Make a Seafood Boil on the Stovetop!
Just like my previous seafood boil recipe, I will NOT be making this deliciousness outside. I will be making it on my stovetop! Unlike my previous recipe I will be using more seafood. sure I will still be using crab, and shrimp, but I will also be tossing in some lobster tails as well!
Also once our ultimate seafood boil is done, we are going to drizzle some delicious creole garlic sauce all over the crab, potatoes, corn, lobster, shrimp, and andouille sausage.
So are y’all ready to make my ultimate seafood boil?? Well check out my video tutorial below, and be sure to print the recipe below!

It should easily feed 5 people 🙂
This looks delish; I can’t wait to make this.
Being that it’s summer time do you have anything similar for the grill.

Thanks Rosie! I’ll be using this recipe this weekend for my annual fish fry!
Can’t wait to try this
Yesssss I cannot wait to make this! My husband love when I make your smothered turkey wings too.
You got my mouth watering over her lol.I will be cooking this tonight!!!!!
i meant over here and Thank You Rosie
LOL!! Enjoy! XOXO
I am allergic to shelf fish. Do you have a recipe, using fish instead of shellfish.
Thank you
Hi Carla! Try this boil recipe.
What size pot do u recommend for the crab boil, I have a large family of 8, and if I use a 32qt pot , do I still use 16cups of water
Hi there! I used my 24 qt pot 🙂
Rosie all of your food looks delicious!!!! I cant want to try them! Girl you have it going on. Your house stay full!
Thanks Teresa!
Sweet baby jesus.I made this today for father’s day I had my Old school RnB playing and I swear when it was done my husband wanted to marry me all over again…This and Strawberry Short cake is his favorite.Thank You I will be coming back for more recipes.
I just made this and baby let me tell you, it was amazing. This was my first time making a seafood boil and everyone loved it!!!
Thank you!!! I made this last night for friends and got rave reviews and The creole garlic sauce was loved by all!! Delicious!!
Did you also use cracked black pepper? I don’t see it listed but the photo looks like it. I made this yesterday without the lobster and it’s a hit!
Its optional 🙂
Hey, thank you for the recipe. I know this is not an exact science but how many servings would you say this covered?
It really depends on the crowd, LOL.
I would like to try
Rosie I made your seafood boil yesterday and I must say it was the bomb, best flavor ever. I will continue to use this recipe.
Great videos, recipes and information….no loud music, no theatrics, all the facts…..very nice.
We live on the east coast where seafood is plentiful so “low country boils” are held often.
They also include potatoes. I like your version and expect it to be fit for a king w all that lobster …
This recipe is killer. Thank you.
One note (as someone previously naive to the existence of seafood boils). Nowhere do you mention draining the stock out. I originally thought it was intended to be a stew until I saw your video.
On the plus side, if you save the liquid it makes for a killer seafood risotto.
Thanks for the recipe!
I’m going to do a seafood boil for my husbands 30th birthday in 2 weeks and have been scouring the web for a recipe. The photos and videos are amazing and I can’t wait to make this for the party!!! Girrrrrrrl you’re going to make me into a cooking fool!! Thank you!!!!!
Rosie, this is an excellent recipe. I kinda combined both of your boil recipes for Labor Day dinner and my family and friends are still talking about how good it was! Best, Glenda
Hey GIRL! I’m so excited I’m doing this for Christmas tomorrow. This will be my first time ever doing a seafood boil. I chose yours because it looks so awesome and simple. I do wonder if using the creole seasoning will make it too spicy. I’m making it for my hubby and young children and we are not spicy eaters. I do plan to leave the hot sauce out. If it is spicy, do you have another alternative? Help a sister out lol!!
If you’re afraid of spice, you can use seasoning salt. XOXO
Rosie!!!!! Girl this was the first time I’ve ever done a crab and shrimp boil and from this point forward I won’t cook it any other way! That Creole Garlic Butter recipe was the greatest!!! Everyone left my house happy tonight!!! Thank you Rosie!
I can’t tell you how much I want this meal, Thank you.
I’ve made this a few times now. I love it.
Just made this for the family for Good Friday! It was BOMB! The lobster was a little over cooked, but I can make an adjustment to the time next time. Thanks for this recipe. I’m keeping it forever! 🙂
Watched your seafood boil and loved it.. yes u can come to my house and do a seafood boil….l am orig. from N.H. So know sea food boils but yours looks fantastic….thank you. Jean &David Skarlupka. Pelican lakeWi. 54463

Dayna from Milwaukee, WI
I just finished making this recipe. It was so good and thank you so much for sharing. I am getting into cooking new things since I have to cook during this quarantine.
OMG! Tried this recipe today and wolla!!! YUMMY.. pretty expensive but worth it. My family enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing.
This recipe was BOMB!! This was my first time making a seafood boil and I just so happened to stumble across Rosies recipe. Everyone was raving about how delicious it was and “how we needed to make it again”. Definitely a recipe to keep for the books and I loved how it was super descriptive on all the steps and love the video. Thanks again Rosie! 🙂
Thanks for trying my recipe Devin! XOXO
My daughter’s 23rd birthday is today. Since we’re under Shelter at Home and she can’t go to her favorite restaurant The Boiled Crab in Sacramento CA, I’m doing it for her at home. I can’t wait to attempt your recipe! Looking forward to looking like an Awesome Mom! Lol. Thank you. Pictures and results to follow. God Bless You!

I made this and let me tell you simply divine! Love all the notes in each flavor. I added mussels instead of lobster! The best mussels I’ve ever had. Thanks for sharing your love of cooking!
Oh yum!!!! I’m gonna toss some mussels in next time!! XOXO
I have been using this recipe since February 2019. This is one of the best and easiest ones I know. 100% would recommend!!!!
This was my first boil And it turned out great everybody loved it I also added crawfish to this
I. Am trying this tomorrow- can I use Old Bay Seasoning instead of Creole- same measurement?
Thank you – so looking forward to trying this
You sure can!
Tried this recipe and my family LOVED it, so do I. Today is my birthday, and NO I am not going to a restaurant, my oldest son is making this recipe for mom, it’s all I wanted. It’s one of the best recipes in my repertoire. And it will be a family favorite indefinitely. Thank you so much for it!!!
Thanks for trying my recipe!
looks delicious will make it for the 4th thank you.
My kids loved it ❤️ Thank you
We are excited about this recipe!. It was delicious! Our new tradition for summer holidays. Thank you!
Hi Rosie this looks delicious and since I can’t go to South Carolina this year due to the pandemic I want to try. My husband had throat cancer and he can’t do real spicy is creole just the taste or will it be spicy I thought maybe I could put in a little Creo and then athe Bay seasoning how much Would I put in for 16 cups of water.. Thank you in advance for responding ahead of time Linda
Try regular seasoning salt, and season to your taste. 😉
My son is headed back to university and this was our final family dinner for a while. Thank you so much.
t was a triumph. The garlic butter is a key step and really made to the dish. Many thanks.
Wow first time trying your recipe and i am hooked keep up the great work cousin
This was my birthday meal, and oh boy it was splendid! Thank you kindly for sharing! BE WELL & EAT WELL.
Always wanted to do a good boil and this was it. The Creole butter really made it. Did it without the crawfish, we’ll try that next time. it was still great and I thank you very much for the recipe.
This looks to be the best recipe I have found and am anxious to try it. I do need to double it though. Do you think this receipe would work if I used a clam steamer pot? I have 2-19qt pots I could stack on the bottom pot that would contain the broth. Thank you!
Hi there! For best results follow the instructions, XOXO.
I did end up getting a large pot and followed the recipe exactly as directed. The results were excellent and everyone is still raving about this meal! So glad I found you!!!!
I have been looking for an recipe to make a seafood boil for two when I stumbled on to your recipe. It looks delicious but too much, I was thinking if I used half the ingredients would it come out the same?
I got rave reviews for this recipe!!! We are camping at the beach and I wanted to make a special dinner for my husband. Eatting seafood at the beach always makes us feel like it’s the fresh “catch of the day.” The only slight tweaks I made were to cut the hot sauce back by 1 tbsp and then I added 2-3 Bay leaves. My family went crazy for this recipe!! They Love-Love-Loved it!! Thank You so much for sharing an amazing recipe!!
Rosie I’m going to have to try this recipe, it looks amazing.
Please don’t take this the wrong way but I LOL every time you say creole.
LOL!!
I am going to try this for Thanksgiving! What kind of creole seasoning do you use?
I use tony chacheres
Made this for Thanksgiving yesterday and it was a hit! Very Good…Thank you!1
I tried this for my Halloween party and is was the bomb. One of my close friends has a video shoot tomorrow evening and he wants me to make this for his guests and I. He loved it that much. Thanks for the recipe.
