Seafood always feels like a deluxe meal. There’s no better way to make a crab boil than in an oven bag. The flavors are sealed in and everything is cooked to perfection! Show It’s the first day of a new decade and what better way to ring in the new year, than with a lit new recipe?! Traditionally, a new year’s meal consists of things like fish, greens, and beans. However, this year I felt like changing it up in my house. I wanted to share a seafood recipe that would be perfect for upcoming Super Bowl events, Valentine’s Day, or really any night you or your family wants to have some delicious seafood. This Oven Bag Crab Boil uses Dungeness crab legs because they contain the most meat of any variety. You can also use snow crab legs if you are on a budget or can’t find Dungeness. To get the right feel of a low country boil we also use extra-large shrimp, andouille sausage, corn, and red potatoes. It’s literally a bag of seasoned and juicy seafood! Glam Kitchen Ingredient Tips
Special EquipmentPeople often wonder about using slow cooker liners or oven bags/turkey bags. Are they really safe? Why are we using plastic to cook? Turns out these are made from heat-resistant nylon, which a lot of cooking and serving utensils are made out of! Using an oven bag not only locks in flavor and moisture, but it also makes for easy cleanup – just toss the bag and wipe out your dish! You can also serve your meal right in the cooking vessel by dumping the cooked bag contents into it. You won’t have those baked-on marks from oil and seasoning, so it will still look pretty on the table. Step-by-Step InstructionsPrepare your corn and potatoes by roughly chopping. Layer them in the bottom of the oven bag, set in a casserole or baking dish. Layer the remaining proteins, one by one. Add seasoning, lemon, and aromatics. Tie up according to directions. Bake as directed and enjoy! As always, please let me know how the recipe turns out for you, and enjoy! Oven Bag Crab BoilShauntayPrint Recipe Pin Recipe Course Main Course Ingredients
