SEAFOOD BOIL RECIPE

Here's a step-by-step guide for a delicious **Non-Spicy Seafood Boil** 

**Ingredients:**

- Assorted shellfish (shrimp, crab legs, mussels)

- Corn on the cob, cut into thirds

- Red potatoes, quartered

- Garlic cloves

- Bay leaves

- Lemon slices

- Fresh thyme

- Kosher salt

- Water

**Instructions:**

1. **Prepare the Seafood:** Make sure all your shellfish are cleaned properly. If you're using crab legs or lobsters, crack the shells slightly to let the flavors in.

2. **Make the Broth:** Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a gentle simmer. Add bay leaves, lemon slices, garlic cloves, and a few sprigs of fresh thyme to infuse the water with flavor.

3. **Season the Broth:** Instead of spicy seasonings, use kosher salt to taste. The water should have a slightly salty, ocean-like flavor.

4. **Cook the Vegetables:** Add the quartered red potatoes to the pot first as they take the longest to cook. After about 10 minutes, add the corn on the cob pieces.

5. **Add the Seafood:** Once the vegetables are almost done, add the shellfish to the pot. Cook until the shellfish are done (shrimp should be pink and slightly opaque, mussels should open up).

6. **Serve:** Carefully remove the seafood and vegetables with a slotted spoon and serve on a platter. Garnish with additional lemon slices and fresh thyme.

Enjoy your non-spicy seafood boil with family and friends!
