Cajun Boiled Peanuts Recipe

🧂 Ingredients

• 2 pounds green raw peanuts

  in the shell
• 4 ounces concentrated shrimp and crab boil
• ½ cup Cajun or Creole Seasoning Blend

  (or use seafood boil seasoning)
• 2 tablespoons salt
• 4 habanero peppers

  sliced in half (optional – use can omit or use other peppers to your own heat level preference)
• Hot sauce of choice

  a few tablespoons will do, but add as much as you’d like! – Tabasco or Crystal are PERFECT for this recipe
• Water to cover

Instructions

• 1 Add the peanuts to a large pot. Pour in enough water to cover the peanuts. It's
  usually a couple gallons of water.
• 2 Stir in the shrimp and crab boil and Cajun seasonings (or Creole seasonings)
  with salt.
• 3 Add the habanero peppers, if using them. They add a very good level of heat to
  the whole batch.
• 4 Dash in your hot sauce and give it a good stir.
• 5 Bring the pot to a boil, then reduce heat. Partially cover the pot with a lid
  and simmer for 5 hours. Check it periodically to push the peanuts under the
  seasoned water.
• 6 Cool. You can eat the peanuts now if you’d like, but to develop more flavor,
  cover and set the pot into the refrigerator.
• 7 Refrigerate overnight to let the flavors develop. The peanuts will become much
  more infused with the seasonings as they steep in the liquid.
• 8 Reheat on the stove top and enjoy.
