A great side dish to complement your seafood boil would be **Garlic Bread**. It's perfect for soaking up all the delicious flavors from the seafood and the broth. Here's a simple recipe for you:
Ingredients:
- 1 loaf of French bread or baguette
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons of fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt to taste
- Optional: Grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions:
1. **Preheat your oven** to 350°F (175°C).
2. **Mix the butter:** In a small bowl, combine the softened butter with the minced garlic, chopped parsley, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until all ingredients are incorporated.
3. **Prepare the bread:** Cut the bread in half lengthwise. Then, spread the garlic butter mixture evenly on the cut sides of the bread.

5. **Bake:** Place the bread on a baking sheet, buttered side up, and bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the butter is bubbly.
6. **Serve:** Remove from the oven, let it cool for a minute, then cut into slices and serve warm.

For a healthier option, you might consider a **fresh salad** or **steamed vegetables** like asparagus or green beans. These lighter sides can balance the richness of the seafood boil.
