Seafood Boil Recipe #128969
My husband is allergic to ALL seafood so I remove the sausage and vegetables before adding the seafood so he can enjoy it too.
Note: If you'd like to cook everything together then skip step 4. Also may need to add the asparagus when you add the seafood so it doesn't over cook. Adjust the amounts of seafood to your liking.
