Seafood Boil Bake

by

Seafood Boil Bake is the easy oven version of the classic seafood boil — juicy shrimp, crab, sausage, corn, and potatoes tossed in rich garlic-butter Cajun seasoning and baked until perfectly tender. It delivers all the bold coastal flavors with much less mess, making it ideal for family dinners and viral food-blog content (these buttery seafood trays perform very well with US/UK traffic).
