Ultimate Seafood Boil Recipe

Shrimp, Crab, Sausage, Corn & Potatoes in the Ultra-Tech II 26-Quart Stockpot

Nothing brings family and friends together like a classic seafood boil loaded with tender shrimp, crab, smoky sausage, sweet corn and seasoned potatoes.

And when you're cooking for a crowd, the pot matters.

The Ultra-Tech II 26-Quart 9-Ply 316Ti Stainless Steel Stockpot with Ultra-Temp Cover gives you the capacity, even heat distribution and temperature control needed for a great seafood boil.

Add the Ultra-Tech II Stainless Steel Culinary Steamer & Canning Basket, and cleanup and serving become even easier. When everything is cooked, simply lift the basket and let the liquid drain back into the stockpot.

Seafood Boil Ingredients

Serves approximately 10–14

• 4 lbs. small red or Yukon Gold potatoes

• 6 ears fresh corn, cut into halves or thirds

• 2 lbs. smoked sausage, cut into 2-inch pieces

• 2–3 lbs. large shell-on shrimp

• 3–4 lbs. crab legs, blue crabs or your favorite crab

• 2 large onions, quartered

• 1 whole head garlic, halved

• 2 lemons, halved

• Seafood boil seasoning, to taste

• Water or seafood stock, as needed

• Melted butter for serving

• Fresh lemon wedges

• Optional hot sauce

Make It Your Own

Add lobster tails, clams, mussels, crawfish or your favorite fresh seafood.

How to Make a Seafood Boil

1. Start the Pot

Place the Culinary Steamer Basket inside your Ultra-Tech II 26-Quart Stockpot.

Add the appropriate amount of water or seafood stock along with the onions, garlic, lemons and seafood seasoning. Cover with the Ultra-Temp Cover and bring to cooking temperature.

2. Add the Potatoes

Add the potatoes first because they require the longest cooking time. Cook until they begin to become tender.

3. Add Sausage & Corn

Add the smoked sausage and corn. Continue cooking until the potatoes are nearly done and the corn is tender.

4. Add the Seafood

Add the crab and other shellfish.

Add the shrimp last. Shrimp cook quickly and are best when just cooked through—firm, juicy and opaque rather than overcooked.

5. Lift, Drain & Serve

When everything is fully cooked, turn off the heat.

Carefully lift the stainless steel culinary basket and allow the seasoned cooking liquid to drain back into the stockpot.

Transfer the seafood, sausage, corn and potatoes to a large serving platter or traditional seafood-boil table.

Finish with melted butter, fresh lemon and your favorite seafood seasoning.

Then gather everyone around the table and enjoy.

Why a 26-Quart Stockpot Is Perfect for a Seafood Boil

A seafood boil needs room.

Crowding ingredients into a small pot can cause uneven cooking and makes it difficult to properly cook potatoes, corn, sausage and delicate seafood at the same time.

The Ultra-Tech II 26-Quart Stockpot gives you generous capacity for large family meals, holidays, parties and backyard seafood boils.

Its premium 9-Ply construction with a 316Ti stainless steel cooking surface is engineered for efficient, even heat distribution.

The magnetic stainless steel exterior also makes the stockpot induction ready.

The Basket Makes the Difference

The Ultra-Tech II Stainless Steel Culinary Steamer & Canning Basket turns your large stockpot into an incredibly versatile cooking system.

Designed to fit 12-Qt., 18-Qt. and 26-Qt. Ultra-Tech II Stockpots, the heavy-duty stainless steel basket is ideal for:

• Seafood, shrimp and crab boils

• Lobster and crawfish

• Corn on the cob

• Steaming vegetables

• Pasta and large-batch cooking

• Home canning

• Blanching

• Large family and holiday meals

Instead of trying to scoop seafood and vegetables out of a huge pot one piece at a time, lift the basket, drain and serve.

More Than a Seafood Boil Pot

Your Ultra-Tech II 26-Quart Stockpot isn't a one-recipe piece of cookware.

Use it for seafood boils today, then put it to work for soups, stocks, pasta, steaming, canning, holiday meals and large-batch cooking throughout the year.
