I’ve been craving seafood boil all week but don’t have a giant pot and a lot of motivation. I found this recipe for Low Country Boil in a Crock Pot on YouTube, but will write out the variations I made. The original didn’t have enough flavor for me: https://youtu.be/zEArhlVsd0Y?si=tl3xeB26AzLEAYKo
Her broth recipe was:
6 cups water, Lemon juice, Onion, Garlic 1/4 cup of old bay seasoning,
The variation I made: 5 1/1 cups of water, Lemon juice, 1/2 cup orange juice, Onion, Garlic, old bay seasoning, Hot sauce (I’m planning to use pickled jalapeno instead next time)
I also made a butter sauce for dipping. She didn’t. Gotta have butter with seafood and corn.
The onion tastes gross at the end, so don’t plan to eat the onion from the broth. If you want onion, I would cook it in the sauce instead.
Also, the potatoes didn’t cook as fast for mine. I would wait to start cooking the corn and sausage until the potatoes are almost tender.

Low country boil takes way, way less time to make on the stovetop. How is doing it this way “lazy?” It’s literally *more* work and time.
