Garlic Crab Boil
with Dungeness Crab, Shrimp, Mussels and Clams
When originally creating this recipe my goal was to show the Chilau Heads (cooking group) they could experience an amazing crab boil using our Gumbo Chilau sauce vs. the go-to Boil Bomb. Chilau seafood sauces are undoubtedly great for stews and soups. However, GUMBOIL is a great example of an amazing crab boil with the enhanced trinity flavor that makes Creole & Cajun food so amazing

Server with crusty bread, over pasta or eat as is! Delicious!
The difference between using the seafood sauces (Original, Citrus, Gumbo) vs. Boil Bomb is the recipe calls for Cups vs. 1/4 Cups or spoons. Boil Bomb is much more powerful but you can get great results with the others.
