Seafood boil with Garlic butter Sauce is one of the most delicious recipes. This spicy sauce can be added to any seafood boil. You can also use it on the side for dipping the deliciousness in.

Seafood Boil Sauce

Many people simply throw the cooked seafood in melted butter and spice it up while it cooks. This easy recipe will allow you to cook seafood with a different seafood dipping sauce.

Gather ingredients for the Seafood Boil 

Before we start making Seafood Boil, we must make sure you have all the ingredients. This makes cooking so easy! Here’s what you will need.

•  Seafood: Shrimp, crab legs, and all other seafood.
•  Sausage: You can skip this ingredient if it is not your favorite. This recipe used beef sausage. In some recipes, they’ve used chicken sausage and meatless sausage to make this recipe.
•  Red potatoes: They are the best choice because they don’t get so mushy. If you have ordinary (russet) potatoes, you can use them. Reduce the cooking time and boil time to make them mushy.
•  You can use corn on the cob frozen. I also use fresh corn on the cob. You can make more by cutting it in half, but you don’t have to.
•  You can also add boiled eggs to your recipe. I have received photos of people adding broccoli and other vegetables. It’s great! Get creative and create what you want.

Ingredients

• 5 clusters of Snow crab legs
• 16 oz of Shrimp
• 16 oz Andouille sausage
• 6-7 Corn on the cob
• 6 Red potatoes
• 3 TBSP of Garlic
• 1 Onion
• 1 Lemon
• 2 Cups of  Butter
• 4 TBSP of Olive oil
• 2 cups of Chicken broth
• 1/4 tsp of Tabasco sauce

For Seasoning the Boiling Water

• 5 TBSP of Old Bay seasoning
• 1 whole Lemon juice
• 3-4 Bay leaves

Seafood Boil Sauce

• 2 Cups of Butter
• 4 TBSP of cup Olive oil
• 3 TBSP Old Bay seasoning
• 1 Onion
• 1 TBSP Red pepper flakes
• 3 TBSP of Garlic
• 1 whole Lemon juice
• 2 cups of Chicken broth
• 3 TBSP of Paprika
• 1 TBSP Cayenne pepper
• 1 TBSP Lemon pepper seasoning
• ¼ tsp of Tabasco sauce

Instructions

For Seafood Boil

• Take a large stockpot and fill it with water and leave enough space at the top for the seafood so it doesn’t spill. Add the bay leaves, old bay seasoning, and lemon juice. Cook until it boils.
• Add the red potatoes and corn to the seasoned water, and cook for 9-10 minutes.
• Add the sausage and crab legs. Cover the pot with a lid, and continue cooking for around 15 minutes.
• Add the shrimp and boil the shrimp for additional 5 minutes, you’ll know when it’s cooked because the shrimp will turn pink.
• Remove the water, and then take out the bay leaves. Move the mixture to a serving dish, or place it in the stockpot.
• Spread the garlic butter sauce over the seafood, and keep some of the delicious sauce for the dip.

Garlic Butter Sauce

• Heat one stick of butter and olive oil in a large skillet on medium heat. Sauté in the onions until they are translucent.
• Sauté in the Garlic for about 25 – 30 seconds. Stir constantly to ensure the garlic doesn’t get burned. Add the lemon juice and seasonings. You can adjust the level of spice by adding red pepper and cayenne to suit your taste.
• Continue to add the remaining butter. Stir constantly and let the butter melt in a saucepan.
• Use chicken broth if you like, and stir it into the mixture. Serve with your seafood, and/or reserve some for dipping.

A butter sauce that is made from butter and garlic and then flavored with herbs and spices, cooked seafood sauce is also known as butter sauce. This buttery and spicy recipe goes well with all seafood.

You can try Bloves sauce if you like, but this is a different sauce. Bloves sauce, a type of seafood sauce, is made by a Youtuber named Bloves.

Different types of seafood sauce

Many other sauces can be made from the sauce mentioned above. They will go well with seafood, meat, and vegetables. Here are some suggestions:

• Louisiana Seafood Sauce: My favorite. To make a Louisiana seafood sauce that pairs well with boiling seafood, you can leave the sauce alone and add bay leaves, this Louisiana Hot Sauce, and lemon slices.

• Cajun Seafood Sauce:  Cajun seafood sauce: This sauce can be transformed by omitting the butter, onion, and garlic base and substituting Cajun spices for all other ingredients.

What you need for original Chick-Fil-A chicken salad

• Chicken breasts – The original Chick-fil-A recipe requires four chicken breasts. They can be grilled or fried. I chose the grilled chicken breast.
• Celery – adds great texture and amazing flavors to salads, especially cold ones. Celery is also used in tuna salad recipes and many more.
• Sweet Pickle Relish – This recipe is very similar to my grandma’s chicken salad recipe. It’s not good without sweet pickle relish. Many people love the sweet relish. It tastes just like the store-bought varieties. Because we like it, my simple chicken recipe uses dill relish cubes instead.
• Real Mayonnaise – I would guess that Chick-fil-A spread used Hellman’s mayonnaise or a restaurant mayonnaise. Because the recipe was not very specific, I didn’t know for certain so I used Duke’s mayonnaise. A mayonnaise with olive oil can be used to lighten things. You can also use half of the plain Greek yogurt with the mayonnaise to lighten it.
• Hardboiled Eggs – are another common ingredient in Southern-style chicken salads. They add really nice flavor and texture to the salad.
• Food Processor –  The original recipe required that you use a food processor. I used it here, but it was too processed and didn’t have the right texture. If you have a food processor, my suggestion is first to pulse the celery, then add in the chicken, and then pulse again. Alternatively, you can chop all the ingredients and mix them together.

Variations to Chick-Fil-A Chicken Salad

• Make it Sweeter You can add 1/3 – 1/2 tsp of granulated sugar if you like a sweeter version of chicken salad.
• Dill Some people don’t like sweet pickle relish so you can try dill relish instead.
• Low-carb – If you want to cut down on carbs and go gluten-free, grab some Bibb lettuce or Living lettuce and serve your chicken salad in lettuce cups.
• Onion is not in the Chick-Fil-A recipe. However, I love to add a little grated onion or finely minced yellow onions to my chicken salad. You don’t need to add much! You can also mince some green onions or chives and add them to the salad. Also, you could add some red onion slices to the chicken salad sandwiches.
• Toast-Bread Varieties I chose to use whole wheat bread because that’s what Chick-fil-A used.

How to store Chick-Fil-A Chicken Salad

The remaining chicken salad should not be consumed more than three to five days after being made and should be stored in a refrigerator using an airtight container.

Is Chick-fil-A chicken salad sandwich available at Chick-Fil-A restaurants?

No. Unfortunately, It was removed from the menu in September 2017. One of the managers of the company explained that it was not a light hearted decision but that it is necessary to occasionally offer menu items that guests enjoy. The company gets feedback from its customers to inform them of their plans for changing the menu. 

Chick-Fil-A published their famous chicken salad recipe around the same time that they stopped selling the sandwich. It was so good that I had to have it. It was delicious… heavenly.

Tips & Tricks

• Accurately weigh all the ingredients.
• Sift powdered ingredients to make a smooth and clumps-free batter.
• Use ingredients at room temperature to make a smooth and thick batter.
• Avoid over-mixing the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients to achieve the desired texture.
• Add all the wet ingredients in the right amount, e.g., use large eggs rather than small eggs.
• The batter must be evenly divided in both pans. Using a kitchen scale will help you in the equal division of the batter in both pans.
• Always allow the cake to cool completely, or otherwise, your frosting will melt, making your cake the least tempting.

FAQs

How to store vanilla sponge cake?

To best store vanilla sponge cake, wrap the slices of cake in a cling film and then place them in an air-tight box. This way, you can store the cake for 4 to 5 days. Cling-wrapping the cake will keep it moist and soft. If you want to store the cake for longer, then you can refrigerate the cake for 1 week.

What if my cake is undercooked?

If your cake is not properly cooked in the given time, it means your oven was not preheated. Note the temperature of the oven with the help of a thermometer, and bake the cake for a few minutes more until the skewer comes out dry and clean.

What adds fluffiness to the sponge vanilla cake?

The softness and fluffiness in the sponge vanilla cake are the results of the creaming process. When the butter is mixed with sugar, the creaming process occurs due to the entrapment of the tiny air bubbles. This makes your cake aerated and fluffy. The release of carbon dioxide gas by rising agents plus these air bubbles contributes to the fluffy texture of the cake while baking.

Why does my vanilla sponge cake always gets deflated?

A vanilla sponge cake is more prone to deflating than any other type of cake because it contains eggs in large proportions. It also contains air in large amounts. When the cake is allowed to cool, it gets deflated due to the release of heat. To fix this, make sure the door of the oven is closed properly to maintain the required amount of heat in the oven.
