We had a second meeting for our Sunday Cooking Club and this time we decided to say good bye to summer and have a Crab Boil. This time the menu consisted of garlic cheddar biscuits, seafood chowder, our crab boil and a lemon crunch cake!!
Growing up in Hawaii I had never done a Crab Boil before, so I was super excited! We got a huge pot and placed it on the grill. We loaded up the crabs on the bottom, a packet of crab boil seasonings, layered in some garlic, potatoes, onions, shrimp, mussels, corn and sausages. Yes- we put all that goodness in one pot. Just watch!
We placed the pot on the grill and let the steaming and boiling go to work!! We may have been a little overly ambitious and put too much in the pot. Since we had so much in there we had to have it on for a while, we may have over cooked the mussels and shrimp just a tad…. Despite that everything was super delish! Here it comes…
And our main star, the crab! We did two kinds of crab Dungeness and Stone crab! So good with a little dip of butter and a squeeze of lemon.
Oh and of course we had garlic and cheese biscuits to go with everything. And some seafood chowder (which I will be sharing the recipe for later).
And you cant have a cooking club/girls night without an amazing dessert. A little bit Southern by way of Hawaii- Lemon Crunch Cake!!
Our club thrives on, next month we taking a break from cooking and we are going to go Apple Picking!!! I have been trying to get this arranged for two years, finally everyone is free, there are no USC Football games and we have selected a date. Now just to find the perfect farms to check out.
