Chef Bae® Seafood Boil Seasoning: Just Add Butter
Chef Bae® Seafood Boil Seasoning | Just Add Butter is the signature seafood-boil blend created by Sherri Smith, founder of Chef Bae®. It is designed to help home cooks build a rich, buttery seafood boil with bold Southern flavor and less guesswork.
What does “Just Add Butter” mean?
The seasoning is made to pair with butter as the foundation of the boil’s flavorful coating or sauce. Follow the product directions, begin with an amount that fits the size of your boil, and adjust to taste rather than adding too much at once.
What can you season with it?
The official product page recommends the blend for shrimp, crab, lobster, crawfish, smoked sausage, corn on the cob, and baby potatoes. Those ingredients make it useful for a classic mixed seafood boil or a smaller shrimp-focused dinner.
When to use Chef Bae® Seafood Boil Seasoning
- Family seafood dinners
- Cookouts and backyard gatherings
- Holiday seafood feasts
- Birthday meals
- Special occasions
- Smaller weeknight shrimp boils
How to build a balanced boil
Choose the seafood and add-ins based on the number of guests. Potatoes usually need more cooking time than seafood, while corn and smoked sausage may be added according to the recipe and desired texture. Add delicate seafood at the appropriate stage so it does not overcook.
Once everything is cooked, coat or serve it with the seasoned butter preparation. Keep extra seasoning controlled until you taste the finished combination, because the seafood, sausage, and butter may already contribute salt and richness.
