This one sounds good! You can make it hot or not hot!
CAJUN BOILED PEANUTS
Ingredients :
2 lbs. fresh raw peanuts in shells
(available in many supermarkets in the fall)
3 tbsp. salt or to taste
Zatrain's Crab & Shrimp Boil
1 TBSP ground red pepper (optional)
1 cup sliced jalapeno peppers (optional)
Preparation :
Wash peanuts well. Place them in a huge cast iron pot or
the biggest pot you have. Pour in enough water to almost
fill the pot. Add salt and stir. Cover and cook over high
heat. Bring to a rolling boil. Put in the bag of Zatrain's
Crab & Shrimp Boil (leave it in the bag.) If you want them
a little more spicy, add the tablespoon of ground red pepper.
If you want the peanuts really hot, you can also add the 1 cup
of sliced jalapeno peppers. Reduce heat only enough to prevent
water from boiling over. Add water as needed to keep peanuts
under water. When adding water, increase heat to high until
peanuts are boiling again. Boil for 3 1/2 to 4 hours.
Test to see if they are done by spooning out a peanut, cooling
briefly, opening the shell and biting into one. Boiled peanuts
should be soft, not crunchy or hard. Drain, rinse well and cool
slightly before serving. Store in plastic bags in refrigerator
or freezer.
