Seafood Boil with Red Spicy Garlic Butter Dipping Sauce

Seafood Boil with Red Spicy Garlic Butter Dipping Sauce

The last few days have been quite stressful for me. To make myself feel better, I made a gigantic seafood boil. I included all of my favorites: king crab legs, shrimp, lobster claws, sausage links, and sweet corn. I would have thrown in some clams, but unfortunately, they were not in season. This turned out to be good because it turned out to be way too much seafood for little ole me.

For the sauce, it’s an update of Seafood Boil Sauce: Garlic Butter Lemon Pepper. The only change is the addition of Thai red curry paste. Not only does the Thai red curry paste provides great Southeast Asian flavor and aroma from ginger, galangal and kaffir lime leaves, but it also makes the sauce a beautiful vibrant red. I steamed the seafood first and served the sauce on the side, but you can also tossed the steamed seafood into the sauce. The latter may require a bib and a lot more napkins ;-)

Recipe below. Happy cooking!

Notes

I get my steamed King crab legs from Costco, which are incredibly salty. If you find yours to be salty too, boil them instead of steaming to reduce the saltiness.
