Cajun Seafood Boil

Jeremy's co-worker from Louisiana gave us this authentic cajun seafood boil recipe. We couldn't wait to invite some friends & family over to try it out! It's simple, tasty and clean up is a snap. We choose crab & shrimp to go in our boil. Its nice because all the sides are in the pot and it cooks up a huge meal really quick. Great for large get togethers! We had about 8 people over and had some leftover. Try this recipe in stead of the same ole burgers & hotdogs! Enjoy!
