Spicy Garlic Butter Seafood Sauce

Do you want a spicy garlic butter sauce? You can use this sauce for boiling crab, seafood boil, shrimp boil and shrimp recipes. This video will show you how to make a yummy garlic butter sauce for seafood... SPICY! If you're in Atlanta, most people will call it a Juicy Crab sauce but it's a super easy seafood for beginners recipe. It will put you in mind of a spicy cajun shrimp boil without all of the hassle. The ingredients for the sauce is listed below but the video will walk you through how to do the sauce and how to boil your crab, potatoes, corn and cook your shrimp.

Recipe for the original garlic butter sauce:
*5 Tablespoons of garlic powder
*2 Tablespoons of sweet paprika
*3 Tablespoons lemon pepper seasoning (make sure it's less than 100 grams of sodium otherwise it will be salty, believe me I know, I almost took out my family)
2 Tablespoons of cajun seasonings or crawfish/shrimp boil powder
*2 Tablespoons of dried parsley or a mix of dried oregano, dried basil and dried parsley
*5 sticks of unsalted butter (if you like your sauce to be "saucey", feel free to add an extra stick of butter)
* 6 to 8 cloves of garlic or 1 whole garlic (if you love garlic like I do) minced or chopped
*2 lbs of shrimp, rinsed
*2.5 lbs crab legs
*Spice Level Additions*
*1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
*1 tablespoon of crushed red peppers
*1/2 jalapeno sliced with seeds

*Melt the butter with garlic & crushed red peppers on low heat. You want the garlic & peppers to infuse everything about that thang, okay.

*While you're doing that, measure out your seasonings.

*After about 2 to 3 minutes on low heat, add the seasonings including the cayenne pepper to the butter and garlic. Adjust your fire between medium and low heat.

*Add shrimp in batches as to not crowd the pan. You're basically poaching the shrimp in butter spices. After about a minute, add your jalapenos (or you can add them with the dry spices). Once they are pink, remove with a slotted spoon and add your next batch.

Please note: the longer you soak your crabs the more infused they will become. I usually take the potatoes out of the water so they don't over cook but allow my corn and crab to sit for 30 minutes or more. This options is your preference. Believe me 5 to 10 minutes work too because your're going to have the sauce for dipping and lathering the finished produce.

Enjoy!
