I wasn’t sure where this video was going since I’ve made tons of seafood boil and was about to write this video off. But dang this guy broke out my secret recipe spice…the caldo de pollo bullion….hahaha. Once I saw that and what he did I was like ok this guy is legit. My man! He knows what’s up that sauce is what most folks are missing when they want to make what the restaurants make. Anyone can add stuff to hot water what separates home cooked boils from restaurants is that sauce he is making. My man nailed it! Also, I’ve made hundreds of boils in my life time. As he has stated the key is always prepping and preheating the corn and potatoes and other items. Good boils are all about timing. Regardless of what anyone says a one pot boil ain’t goin to cut it. If not you WILL have MUSH! I subscribed as soon as he said “no one likes mushy crab or lobster” amen!

It’s an at home recipe! No I don’t wanna buy your crumb spice. I wanna make it at home today not next week! Id like “if you don’t have MY spice you can use this:”

You the GOAT!!!

Finally I've come across a recipe (Seafood Boil) that don't require 12 different spices. This is so simple and economically my favorite. I have all the spices on hand so I don't have to go crazy trying to gather everything that other Seafood Boils have so I Thank You

FINALLY came upon a recipe where the seafood is cooked IN the boil. So many people on YT making sauces and cooking the seafood separately then just pouring sauce on seafood. Never understood how they call those recipes boils.

Your blogs gave me inspiration of cooking. Since I moved in my place I haven’t ate out. And I made this the first day I moved in. All this saved me some money. I usually spend a good $200 for seafood boils.

You know Matt, I think your film, lighting, background music, and really your whole quality of what makes your YouTube cooking show? Is the most quality content I have ever seen! As you have a really awesomeness of coolness but homedown vibe and I have spent my whole Friday night watching all of your videos. And I just wanted to say that I just love your channel. You present the best quality, and your food ideas are so original, and never do you bore your viewers. I just had to say something. I love your channel? And yet a whole slew of people present your work. And so kudos to all involved in your awesome and entertaining cooking show! ❤

This recipe looks amazing prepping to try it tomorrow.. sharing a hack.. spread some butter on the crab leg knuckles before you put them in the bag. This allows the butter to melt thru the claw and makes them easier to get the all of the crab meat when you break them open. Your tips are amazing thanks for sharing...

[MsBRANDY]

The best seafood boil in a bag is your own! Looks 😋🤤! I'm going to add my shrimp, lobster tail, crawfish, and scallops last next time I make a bag because you're right, it does turn out overly cooked! Thanks👍🏾!

I bought that Kerrygold butter.
Wow... that is some good butter. It tastes so good on my homemade popcorn too.
This recipe looks so good.
Thank you.

How long in the oven before adding the shrimp & lobster?
