An exquisite take on the classic seafood boil, utilizing premium ingredients and refined techniques for a truly memorable dining experience. This version focuses on maximizing flavor and presentation.
Prepare a seafood stock by simmering shrimp shells and vegetable scraps in 8 quarts of water for 30 minutes. Strain and reserve the stock.
In a large pot, bring the seafood stock to a boil. Add the Heirloom Potatoes and cook for 10 minutes.
Add the Sweet Corn and cook for another 5 minutes.
Add the Jumbo Shrimp, Crawfish Tails, and Littleneck Clams to the pot and cook until the shrimp are pink and opaque and the clams have opened, about 3-5 minutes. Discard any clams that do not open.
While the seafood is cooking, prepare the Butter Sauce. In a saucepan, melt the Butter over medium heat.
Add the Garlic and Thyme to the melted butter and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the Lemon Juice, White Wine, and Red Pepper Flakes. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, reducing slightly.
Drain the seafood and vegetables.
Pour the Butter Sauce over the seafood and vegetables. Toss to coat.
Stir in the Fresh Parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges.
