re: Chackbay Seasoning

Me personally I would use 1-1/2 bags of Chackbay, 8 oz of Zatarain crab boil, 1/2 C of cayenne, and 1-1/2 boxes of salt.
I think that cayenne would compliment the Chinese pepper well that's in that Chackbay.
I also put some celery stalks, 7-8 whole pods of garlic, 7-8 whole small to medium onions, 7-8 lemons cut in half, and a big handful of fresh flat leaf parsley. That and a pound or so of some good sausage. It was money. I cooked some small red potatoes in there and some corn and they were very flavorful.

What do you think about adding a half cup of whole, uncut chinese red pepper instead of Cayenne?

They will be well seasoned but not over the top spicy. I think that ratio will be very tasty. My kids ate them and thought they were not too spicy.

I wouldn't add Chinese pepper. The reason I say that is because Chackbay already has plenty of it in there. I think the cayenne will compliment the Chinese pepper. They truly have two different flavor profiles.

i guess i will give your revised recipe a crack
I doubt i toss parsley in it
Wonder what Thib or otis will think of that recipe

That's how Thib said to cook them I believe in his thread. It's got Berlin in the title. It should be on page 2. Basically I'm cooking them how Otis and Thib said to do them.
Posted on 3/8/17 at 11:07 am to Earthquake 88
yep i agree.. just curious what they think of your tweaks
Posted on 3/8/17 at 11:12 am to LSUvegasbombed
My only tweak was add 1/2 c of cayenne. Thib seems to like his not as spicy as Otis. I got somewhere in the middle. But my next boil will be pretty much what Thib posted. I think Otis said a little cayenne has worked good for him as a compliment to all that Chinese red pepper. I think this next boil will be about right. Hell I could live with the first boil I did and be fine but I do think it needed more Chackbay and less Zatarain to hit what I think will suit me best.

I may use like a 1/4th cup of Cayenne in my first experiment.
Posted on 3/8/17 at 11:59 am to Fun Bunch
Originally I did one Chackbay and 2 cups of liquid Zatarain with 1-1/2 salt. And they were very good. I really think 1-1/2 Chackbay and 1 cup of Zatarain liquid is the way to go. If your worried about them being too hot omit that 1/2 c or cayenne. Or do like you are talking about and go 1/4.
I liked what I boiled but I really think 2 cups of Zatarain was close to crossing the line of being to spicy.

That's way too much liquid and too little cayenne. Aren't you forgetting salt??

Too much liquid?

i am going to follow this minus the 1\2 cup of cayenne. Im going to do a 4th of a cup
no parsley either
10 lemons
10 garlics
8 onions -- i always use the pearl onions but for this I am going to use the big ones
and everything pretty much the same... corn, sausage, shrooms, green beans, taters

I assume you guys are all using the same size pot and same volume of water...otherwise, you do realize this discussion of seasoning volumes makes little sense...
