Southern Cajun Boiled Peanuts Recipe

Southern Cajun Boiled Peanuts Recipe

  • 5 pounds raw peanuts, in shells
  • 3/4 cup salt
  • 1 1/4 cups dill pickle slices, with brine
  • 5 small jalapeno peppers, sliced
  • 5 tablespoons dry crab boil (such as Zatarain's® Crab and Shrimp Boil)
  1. Place peanuts, salt, pickles with brine, jalapenos, and crab boil in a large pot. Pour in water to cover the peanuts; stir to combine. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, and cook until soft, at least 4 hours, adding water as needed to keep peanuts covered. Scoop peanuts out of the pot with a slotted spoon and serve hot.
