Best Cajun Seasoning for shrimp or crab boil?

[Wharf Rat]

a local restaurant called Boiling Crab has a pretty good crab and shrimp boil. I figure instead of paying $35 bucks for a crab I'll buy a $5 one and do it at home. They said the use Ragin Cajun, and they serve it in a platic bag filled with cajun sauce that inclues butter, lemon, garlic, and not sure about any other stuff. Anyone else have good reccomendations and/or links for where to purchase online. And or any good recipes for crab/shrimp boil techniques or recipes

Thanks.

I like the Cajun spice available at penzeys.com. They have some B&M stores as well.

You know what I think the South Louisiana BOTL's should do....

Put together a picture editorial on how to properly boil seafood

That means we'd have to do a live test run,and take the pics at different stages of the process, maybe a stick before they are ready and after the feast.

Any thoughts????

I have a one pot/boiler set-up, I had a sweet set up a couple years ago, but I think one of the mover's have it now. I have been meaning to get another. The next few weekends are not good for me, but after that, I wouldn't have an issue having it at my house it we could get it together.

Y'all are makin' me hungry and it ain't even 11am yet. So how many of those little critters do you need to make a meal? Any thoughts on this: http://www.cajun-shop.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=CR?

Yea, Joel will "hook" you up with the good stuff from the land of good eats! I did see some mudbugs being served the other day locally, just couldn't bring myself to order them. Only thing worse than none, is mudbugs done bad.

Man, you are right about that. I'd rather not have 'em than to have some of the sad excuses i've ran into.

# 3 tablespoons cayenne pepper
# 2 tablespoons dry mustard
# 1 tablespoon mace
# 1 tablespoon powdered ginger
# 2 tablespoons paprika
# 3 tablespoons bay leaf powder
# 2 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander

But every one I know would just use the prepared mix.

Ok, where's the red potatoes, the corn on the cob, lemons, onions, celery,
garlic buds..... That pot is looking good but seems to be missing a
few ingrediants.
