Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Mix together all the ingredients for the Garlic Butter Seafood Boil Sauce in a small bowl, set aside.
  3. Place all the thawed seafood, potatoes, corn, sausage, onion quarters ,and garlic halves into your oven bag and place that into a baking dish.
  4. Pour all of the garlic butter sauce over the seafood and toss around gently to cover the seafood in the seasonings and butter.
  5. Tie the bag shut with the tie that came with the oven bag (or use butcher's twine if you lost it).
  6. Bake seafood for 30-40 minutes in your preheated oven. You want the potatoes to be fork tender and the shrimp pink and slightly curled in.
  7. Carefully open the bag and serve your seafood boil in the baking dish!

Notes

  • Seafood boils stay fresh in the fridge for up to 2 days, but don't freeze it. It won't come out at its best quality.
  • To reheat the next day, put the seafood into a baking dish and warm in the oven at a low temperature, around 325 degrees F, until warmed through.
  • Find oven safe bags for your seafood boil at your local grocery store. But if you can't, oven bags are available on Amazon as well.
