What’s The Key To A Good Boil?

Excellent question, let’s talk about. The key to a really phenomenal seafood boil is to make the liquid as flavorful as possible, friends. Without that deep penetrating flavor the ingredients will be bland and sad, oof. Beer is one of the elements that adds a little razzle dazzle to enhance the boil broth. In addition to the beer, plenty of spices and aromatics make the liquid sing in flavorful notes. However, if beer is not your thing, you can surely proceed without it, too.
