Here is a recipe for a crab or seafood boil. It works well with Frogmore Stew, if you can't find crab boil.
Ingredients:
4 tablespoons yellow mustard seeds
3 tablespoons coriander seeds
2 tablespoons whole allspice
2 tablespoons dill seeds
1 teaspoon whole cloves
1 tablespoon crushed red pepper
8 bay leaves
salt and cayenne pepper (or liquid hot sauce) to taste
Directions:
1. Combine all dry ingredients thoroughly. Place in a square of muslin or cheesecloth and tie securely with string, like a large sachet d'épices. Add salt and cayenne or hot sauce to the water to taste, then bring to a boil.
2. When water for seafood is boiling, add the bag and boil for several minutes, until the boiling liquid is tinted and seasoned, then add vegetables and/or shellfish and cook until done, depending on what you're using.
3. Yield: Enough crab boil seasoning for 5 pounds of seafood.
