Love your content and your detailed instructions. Been a subscriber for quite a while now, but just wanted you to know I appreciate your dedication and time! Love y'all!
I watched the original and it lead to our annual shrimp boil. I'm from the Midwest and had never heard about anything like this. I've learned a ton from this channel. Keep it up!
I second this. From Niagara Falls Ontario and it was the original video as well as the frog bone videos that led me to eventually doing my own shrimp and crab boil. Some seasonings I couldn’t get but the result was so satisfying
Rus, what amazes me is how you computed all the ingredient amounts for such an enormous pot! It challenges my math abilities. That was very clever to dump ice over the pot to stop the cooking, while simultaneously sinking the seafood into the flavored broth! The timing on this recipe is critical, and you nailed it! Wonderful recipe my friend! I'm glad you restored this from the original!
I've been doing this for many many years John and learned from my parents. If you don't stop the cooking by cooling the water off fast, then the shrimp will over cook, and become very hard to peel as well. Thanks for watching a old video John! I'm doing a more current "Annual Seafood Boil" very soon :)
Notes have been taken. Off to the commisary for the Fourth cook out. Thank you, Russ. I make alot of your recipes, the guys just think I'm a culinary genius here in the barracks, I direct them to smokey ribs. Keep up the awesome work.
One of my favorite videos Rus, reminds me of my family vacations. Some people just can't help themselves and are just rude and antagonistic. I do know one thing I believe you are a man with the utmost integrity and if you say you got a reason then that's all I care about. Ignore rude people. You just do what you do!!
My mouth is watering! 😫😛 my family don't like sea food of any kind and I love it all! I wish I could make this but in a smaller portion for my self. Anyways, thank you for taking the time to upload! 🤗
Thanks! You can't never go wrong with a good seafood boil, unless of course you don't like seafood, and I actually know a few people who can't stand it. I just don't get it lol! LOL about your kids singing the theme song :D
I am doing my first seafood boil this weekend for my fiance for a date night at home. I have never seen anyone use mushrooms. Im definitely gonna try them out.
Smoky Ribs BBQ & Southern Cuisine ok cool thanks for responding was just curious lol I've never had any of what you cooked but it looks really delicious
You allow for it my bumping up the seasoning from the beginning but I no longer use ice after discovering the “Boil Boss” that I’ve used in more recent videos
Thank you for reposting, I was looking for the other video too show my husband. Your food looks very delicious. Hopefully I'll get it right when I try!!!!
This is a dungenous Crab Delight. Used this Recipe and technique and had the best boil ever. Had to order several ingredients from the south as I live in Oregon...LOL Worth it. Plus the crab were A+ perfect 10 with this recipe.
That pot alone is making me super jealous!!! The food, even though it's been a few years ago, I'm sure it was so good you can still remember how good it tasted. Thanks for sharing😃
Hey Christy, thanks for watching this old video lol! Yeah, I do at least one boil a year, so I know exactly what it's going to taste like. This is my most favorite way to eat shrimp!
I'm interested in cooking some snow crab legs but I'm not sure how long to cook those for. I don't think they would cook as long as whole blue crabs. Appreciate the help on this topic.
Snow crab legs are pre-cooked when you buy them, all you need to do is reheat them. Preferably in a seasoned soaking liquid that has your favorite seasoning added. Bring liquid to boil to incorporate the flavors. Kill the fire and let the liquid cool down to around 175 degrees. Assuming the crab legs are still frozen this should drop the water temp down to around 145 degrees once added to the pot. Let legs soak for around 20 minutes to absorb flavors.
@@SmokyRibsBBQ That's what I needed to know. I can throw them in right after my shrimp then to reheat. Then I'll use the boil boss to bring temp to 150 and I'm set. Great videos and keep them coming. Always love learning from those who know how to do it right.
Thanks for watching it. I will be doing a "new" Annual Boil video soon. Going to try out an idea a subscriber gave me for cooling the water off fast without using ice.
I was actually wanting to do a crabbing video this past weekend, but I've been down with my back since Saturday. Still no better. Maybe I can do it soon provided no major hurricanes come in this week to disrupt everyones life :)
Please do a video addressing the Cajun Rocket pot. I would like to still know if it's a good product or if you guys splitting ways was just a personal decision. I've been considering buying one.
Hi Russell, can you tell me which gas grill burner that your using to cook this low country boil? Is this the one that is 200,000 btu? It sounded like rolling jet engine and I would like to buy a couple to do some cooking for my church. Please let me know......thanks.
What size of pot would you recommend for crawfish boil just went our first one and found out they sell fresh crawfish! I would like to start doing them but need some info saw some nice ones at bayou classic any help is appreciated
Basically if you start with enough water for the amount of food your cooking and season it properly then the rest will take care of itself. If you are adding in a lot of veggies such as potatoes then you do want to make sure your seasoned water has enough salt to allow for them. Best way is to just taste it.
@@SmokyRibsBBQ oh no, i want thyme and was considering adding some additional herbs if you thought they would be good. I have a bunch of basil in my garden as well lol.
@@SmokyRibsBBQ Thanks, Mr. Jones! Hey, I have another question for you sir. Do you still enjoy using your FeelFree kayak? My parents just bought a spot on Weiss Lake in Alabama and I'm thinking about buying the 13.5. I'm a big ole boy (6'4" 305lbs). Thank you sir. I love your videos...HUGE fan!
I sold the kayak a few years ago and bought a 30’ sailboat, but I really enjoyed the kayak while I had it! The 13.5 is what I actually wanted but they were out of stock at the time.
What size pot and burner are you using? I currently have a 44 quart and the burner is something between 50 & 55 thousand btu . Hoping to try it out in the next few weeks
Yeah, I see your point, and yes, you actually would need to allow the other ingredients to cook longer regardless if your using crabs or not. If not your potatoes, mushrooms, etc. may not be quite tender enough. You could always just check them before adding the shrimp to make sure they are cooked.
I haven't used ice in a long time. I've been using a boil boss to cool the pots off. Working with ice can be tricky for sure. You have to allow for the use of it so you don't dilute the flavors.
This man is a genius. I lived in SE Texas for 7 years and its like the best of both states, Louisiana and Texas. Crawfish became my favorite meal. The people in that part of the world are the best. I miss it. ATB sir.
Could one use half water and half beer for the boil instead of just all water to help give more flavor? Lastly about how many people could this seafood boil feed?
Awesome video. I love the food you prepare. It's not my business to ask why you deleted the video. I am just a audience I don't want to judge any TH-camr. Thanks for the video.
watching this amazing channel as I heat up my TV dinner via microwave in a tiny studio might not be the best idea...could you please start a business where you freeze these in trays and mail them to brooklyn with dry ice? Amazon will fullfill it probably...they can do anything - just show them this video! I mean: DAMN
OMG !!! My mouth is litteraly watering ! I live in Northern Quebec , Canada ... we don't hear or see stuff like this here . I've been wanting to try a seafood boil like this for years ! I wish I could crawl through my screen to try some . lol Looks really good . :)
ALL THIS SHIT WOULDN'T EVEN FIT IN MY BATH TUB!! Haha what pot and burner are you cooking out of? I really like it and would like to get one. All of your recipes look amazing. I like the way you cook and season.
I'm sold. Nothing for me to change. My question is the BTU of the burner. I have asked others but they never/haven't said. I want a higher BTU. Cheers.
You need to find a 210K BTU burner. I just listed one that I have in my Amazon Store. Just look in the description box for the link. Lowe's also sells them.
I like using powdered crab boil along with liquid and the flow through bags. If you look real close you will see a couple of flow through bags in this boil. I forgot to mention it in the video, but the largest amount of boiled used is powdered and liquid
Great video! I'm doing my first seafood boil this weekend, and I have two questions. What size pot are you using (I have a 120 quart pot) and when would I add crawfish, same time as crabs?
Hey Rus, I have never experienced a seafood boil like yours but after watching a few of your videos and the one with Adam (Abom79), its is definitively on my list of things to try. Thank you for sharing and I look forward to your next cook. God Bless to your neighboring folks in Texas and Louisiana. Take care! Craig
I hope you give it a try! It's something we always look very much forward too! This is my favorite way to eat shrimp and crabs, well maybe I like stuffed crabs a little bit better than boiled ;)
Hey Russ can you please edit the Cajun turkey one you did in that pot. I was looking for it to cook my turkey exactly like that again this year and don't remember the recipe, and if you do can you do it before Thanksgiving this year please.
I'll try too see what I can do with it. I actually thought about recreating a new video, but I'm pressed for time, so I may just try to re-edit the original. Thanks!
Smoky Ribs BBQ & Southern Cuisine Hey Russ I see you didn't get a chance to redo the Cajun fried turkey video again but can you tell me the rule of thumb from the one you deleted. What's the cook time per pound and the temp for the oil please? Thanks
Smoky, so far the best video I’ve seen in a book! Hope to try it someday! I was wondering bough, with the shrimp, usually they come cleaned and deveined, but since these were whole, what about them being clean!
You could try take a look at pupswithchopsticks.com/how-to-devein-shrimp-in-seconds/ for step by step guide to devein shelled shrimp, with pictures too. If the link is deleted, you could google "devein shelled shrimp"
This vid is hands down the best Country Boil tutorial on YT! Much appreciated! Gonna do this for my daughter’s bday next month. Question: I’ve got an 82 quart boiler. How far do I fill it up w/water & will one (1) four lb bag of the Fish Bone seasoning suffice or should I go with the additional half bag you used in the vid? Just wanna be sure I order enough. Thanks again for the thorough & informative video friend 🙏
You need to fill the pot up halfway with water. I used a 120 quart pot in this video, so one 4 pound bag of seasoning should be about right in your 82 quart pot, but really up to your taste as well.
Smoky Ribs BBQ Much obliged Chef Jones. Appreciate the prompt response. Also wanna apologize for referring to the boil seasoning as “Fish Bone” instead of Frog Bone. I’ve done a seafood boil on my Traeger smoker “pan style” w/much success but this’ll be my 1st attempt in an actual boiler. Wish me luck!
Hey Russ love your videos, question I'm doing my first seafood boil and I have a 30 gallon pot, how much water should I put in this pot. Live your videos and keep them coming
+Albert Anderson Well that's only going to hold 7.5 gallons of water and of course you have to allow for everything that goes in the pot. I usually fill my pots up about half way, so you should be ok with 4 gallons of water or maybe a tad under that.
You know I thought that too but there's some other videos that don't do it I've got a couple that does I don't know but I love your cooking and I love your shoes keep up the good work
Well I'm sure I Iiked your fist version Rus, no reason not to like this one! Man that is one big boil, and I do love 'em! Lovely fresh head on shrimp! Big fan of Conecuh sausage too.Never added mushrooms though, food for thought indeed, as they are very receptive to seasonings. Never tried the ice thing either, very instructive. I add my shrimp at the end and let them go mere minutes, so very surprised to hear you say you can leave 'em in for hour or so! Hmm, seems this technique is something I must try. If you were make a much smaller boil would you adjust the cook times for any ingredient? I'm thinking likely not much, if any at all.
Thanks Randy! Nothing I like better than boiled shrimp. Conecuh sausage is a must any time I do a boil. Just goes perfectly with it. Mushrooms are a personal preference but they are always in my boils as well. Yeah, the ice works very well. Just make sure you add enough seasoning at the beginning to allow for the extra water as the ice melts. I always get them back to a rapid boil, kill the fire, and ice them until the water reaches 150°F The shrimp will stop cooking and start absorbing all that great seasoning in the water. Hope you give that a try brother! BTW, I'm planning a new boil video soon, showing another method to cool the water down quickly without adding ice so stay tuned ;)
No, not near enough for a seafood boil. Get a dual jet burner for $40. It puts out 210,000 BTU. You have to be able to get your water back to a boil fast after putting in the seafood.

Is it like louisiana or zatarains?

That pot has its own built in burner and legs. 250,000 BTU
What size of pot would you recommend for crawfish boil just went our first one and found out they sell fresh crawfish! I would like to start doing them but need some info saw some nice ones at bayou classic any help is appreciated
What size pot did you use? How many people? Doing my 1st Saturday and want to make sure I have the right equipment. Feeding 30 and have a 40 qt pot.
Do you find the volume of water or the volume of food is more important when determining the amount of boil power and liquid to use?
Basically if you start with enough water for the amount of food your cooking and season it properly then the rest will take care of itself. If you are adding in a lot of veggies such as potatoes then you do want to make sure your seasoned water has enough salt to allow for them. Best way is to just taste it.
Excellent edit Rus, looks good.
Thanks Tom!
I'm new to shrimp boils. Is there no need to de-vein the shrimp ?
No one does down here when boiling.
Redo this day after day and it still wouldn’t get old!
Right !!??
Great video! Can you tell me what set up you use? Do you prefer stainless steel over aluminum?
Stainless steel will always be better. It just lasts so much longer, and it's also just a better metal for you.
Stainless is easier to clean , it doesn’t make a difference I used both but the aluminum is way cheaper
Can you use Zatarains instead of Frog Bone? If so would it be the same amount to the water?
Yes, you can use any crab boil mix and the rest remains the same
Smoky Ribs BBQ & Southern Cuisine thanks!!
What kind of cooker do you use?
Do you think any other herbs besides thyme go well in these or is that your favorite?
You can just omit the thyme if you don’t like it
@@SmokyRibsBBQ oh no, i want thyme and was considering adding some additional herbs if you thought they would be good. I have a bunch of basil in my garden as well lol.

Good sausage, did use the hot stuff right?
if all seasonings is crab boil seasonings...why do you use powder, bottle liquid and other etc.?
Trust me!
@@SmokyRibsBBQ what size pot was that?
That looks absolutely tasty 😋
If I were to do this exactly, but without crabs, how should I adjust cooking time? Same overall time?
Subtract the time I allowed for the crabs. I gave times on each ingredient
Thanks gor the reply. Wasnt sure if all the ingredients that went in before the crabs also needed the time alotted for the crabs.
Yeah, I see your point, and yes, you actually would need to allow the other ingredients to cook longer regardless if your using crabs or not. If not your potatoes, mushrooms, etc. may not be quite tender enough. You could always just check them before adding the shrimp to make sure they are cooked.
Doesn’t the ice dilute the flavor in the soak?
I haven't used ice in a long time. I've been using a boil boss to cool the pots off. Working with ice can be tricky for sure. You have to allow for the use of it so you don't dilute the flavors.

How many gallons pot are you using?
Why didnt u boil down the water too get a soup out of it?
Or does the water not taste good?
The seasoned water did its job of seasoning the seafood. It would be way to potent for a soup, especially if you reduced it down
Could one use half water and half beer for the boil instead of just all water to help give more flavor?
Lastly about how many people could this seafood boil feed?
Asante Nkabane I use chicken broth

This vid is hands down the best Country Boil tutorial on YT! Much appreciated! Gonna do this for my daughter’s bday next month. Question: I’ve got an 82 quart boiler. How far do I fill it up w/water & will one (1) four lb bag of the Fish Bone seasoning suffice or should I go with the additional half bag you used in the vid? Just wanna be sure I order enough. Thanks again for the thorough & informative video friend 🙏
You need to fill the pot up halfway with water. I used a 120 quart pot in this video, so one 4 pound bag of seasoning should be about right in your 82 quart pot, but really up to your taste as well.
Smoky Ribs BBQ Much obliged Chef Jones. Appreciate the prompt response. Also wanna apologize for referring to the boil seasoning as “Fish Bone” instead of Frog Bone. I’ve done a seafood boil on my Traeger smoker “pan style” w/much success but this’ll be my 1st attempt in an actual boiler. Wish me luck!
Hey Russ love your videos, question I'm doing my first seafood boil and I have a 30 gallon pot, how much water should I put in this pot. Live your videos and keep them coming
+Albert Anderson you have a 30 gallon or 30 quart?
Smoky Ribs BBQ & Southern Cuisine 30 quart, I'm sorry
+Albert Anderson Well that's only going to hold 7.5 gallons of water and of course you have to allow for everything that goes in the pot. I usually fill my pots up about half way, so you should be ok with 4 gallons of water or maybe a tad under that.
Really nice cooking. My mouth is watering now. Nice to be friend with you.
What is the size of the pot?
120 Quart
You know I thought that too but there's some other videos that don't do it I've got a couple that does I don't know but I love your cooking and I love your shoes keep up the good work
hi great one i,ll have to give this one a try from Trinidad keep up the good work
Hope you do give it a try and thank you for stopping by and watching. A newer version will come out some time this month.
Great video Smokey!!!!!!
Thank you!
Well I'm sure I Iiked your fist version Rus, no reason not to like this one! Man that is one big boil, and I do love 'em! Lovely fresh head on shrimp!
Big fan of Conecuh sausage too.Never added mushrooms though, food for thought indeed, as they are very receptive to seasonings. Never tried the ice thing either, very instructive. I add my shrimp at the end and let them go mere minutes, so very surprised to hear you say you can leave 'em in for hour or so! Hmm, seems this technique is something I must try.
If you were make a much smaller boil would you adjust the cook times for any ingredient? I'm thinking likely not much, if any at all.
Thanks Randy! Nothing I like better than boiled shrimp. Conecuh sausage is a must any time I do a boil. Just goes perfectly with it. Mushrooms are a personal preference but they are always in my boils as well. Yeah, the ice works very well. Just make sure you add enough seasoning at the beginning to allow for the extra water as the ice melts. I always get them back to a rapid boil, kill the fire, and ice them until the water reaches 150°F The shrimp will stop cooking and start absorbing all that great seasoning in the water. Hope you give that a try brother! BTW, I'm planning a new boil video soon, showing another method to cool the water down quickly without adding ice so stay tuned ;)
Excellent! Look forward to it!
Do you not devein the shrimp?
What size pot is that?
120 Quart
Made my first boil using your method. Came out great. Thank you!!!
Fantastic!
Glad you put it back up Rus. Hey I got a question for you. Do you know anywhere that I can order Royal Reds online?
+TheHollarBBQ Thanks Kevin! I really haven't looked, but I'm sure there is someone that does. I can get them locally so I've never looked online.
that looks amazing I need to cook this soon
Hey Russ, will a 30,000 BTU burner be enough to git R done? Great video!!
No, not near enough for a seafood boil. Get a dual jet burner for $40. It puts out 210,000 BTU. You have to be able to get your water back to a boil fast after putting in the seafood.
Great video ! Those crabs look fantastic !! Going to our annual gun club lobster bake tomorrow..You stoked my appetite. Thanks !!
I really enjoyed this thanks!!
How many does this recipe feed?
This would feed 20 people easy, but I would add in more of the Conecuh smoked sausage and a bit more corn and potatoes
I can eat it everyday. Tfs
I see a lot of ingredients going but Why the Liquid Boil?
Trust me
