Recently Jim really wanted to have a lobster bake with our friends. The hard part was we were getting together at their house and did not want to completely disrupt their kitchen and wanted an easy way to boil the seafood…so guess what? We used our TURKEY FRYER! Say what? Yes, that turkey fryer that is sitting in your garage waiting to be used. This will bring new life to that fryer and something NOT deep fried and completely delicious! Dig out those deep fryers you are going to thank me! The best part is you can make as much seafood that will fit in that huge pot! (Adjusting the liquid of course) you will be the hit of the party with this! We have done this twice already and have plans to do it again!
My measurements serve 4-5 people
INGREDIENTS
1 pound small red potatoes
4 ears of corn, cleaned and broken in half
1 pound of kielbasa, sliced into 1 inch rounds
1 1/2 pounds large shrimp, deveined with shell on
1 1/2 pounds little neck clams, cleaned and soaked in room temp. water for 20 minutes
6 lobster tails
1 onion, diced
6 beers (we used blue moon)
1 teaspoon garlic salt
3 Tablespoons Old Bay seasoning
1 stick of butter, melted and used when serving
Lemon wedges for serving
DIRECTIONS
Connect your deep fryer to the propane tank outside and away from the house. Add the beer, garlic salt and Old Bay seasoning to the bottom of the pot. In the basket of the fryer add the potatoes, onion and kielbasa and bring to a boil. Add corn, clams (removed from water)and lobster and cook five more minutes, add the shrimp and cook an additional five minutes or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through. Using oven mitts as the handle will be very hot, remove the basket from the pot and liquid and pour everything onto a baking sheet or large platter. Serve with melted butter and lemon wedges.
Enjoy!
