SEAFOOD BOIL RECIPE (Cajun Seafood Boil)

INGREDIENTS:
1 kilo Shrimp
1 kilo Crabs
1 kilo Mussels
500grams squid
1 block butter 200grams
2 tbsp. cooking oil
2 bulbs garlic
6 tbsp. cajun seasoning
1/4 cup oyster sauce
4 tbsp. brown sugar
1/2 cup seafood broth (water where you boil the seafood)
salt and pepper to taste
2 pcs. boiled sweet corn (cut into serving size)

In a pot ⅓ or halfway filled with water, add in some salt before placing in the crabs. Cover and boil for 5 – 8 minutes. Take it out from the pot to set aside.
Add in the shrimp and cook for 3 minutes uncovered. Then take it out and set aside. Repeat with the mussels, cooking until the shells open. Reserve some of the broth/water for later.
In another pan, add in oil and melt the butter. Cook in the garlic until aromatic before mixing in cajun seasoning, oyster sauce, brown sugar, and ½ of the seafood broth(made earlier).
Simmer till it slightly thickens. Add in salt and pepper to taste. Add in the squid and cook these for 1 minute before adding the pre-boiled seafoods (shrimps, crab, and mussels), and corn as well.
