How to Make a Seafood Boil in the Air Fryer!

Without a shadow of a doubt, this will be the BEST seafood boil you will ever make! How cool is it that you can make it in an air fryer too?

A seafood boil made in the air fryer? How cool is that?

A traditional boil takes time. A typical pot feeds a family of four. Sometimes, I want seafood, but my family doesn’t. This air fryer version is perfect for those of us who want an individual bag of seafood all to ourselves. When preparing a seafood boil, individual portions can be very convenient.

The butter and sauce is made separately and poured into the seafood for maximum flavor. With any boil, you want to have the essentials like andouille sausages, corn on the cob, potatoes, shrimp, and crab.

Add whatever you’d like– As with any boil, it’s all about the ingredients! A traditional seafood boil is packed with jumbo shrimp, crab, andouille sausage, red potatoes, eggs, and corn on the cob that’s covered with Cajun butter and spices.

Works with your budget– You can add whatever you want to this recipe that fits the theme of a boil. For the sake of affordability, I only added shrimp in this recipe. However, feel free to add your crab, lobster tail, or whatever other seafood you add to your boils!

The seasoning and butter– Everyone who eats a seafood boil knows it’s all about the butter and sauce. These flavors combined make the boil delicious. I prefer spicier seasonings such as Old Bay, cayenne pepper, and Cajun seasoning to give it a kick.

• Jumbo Shrimp (or any size shrimp that you can afford).
• Andouille sausages
• Mini corn on the cob
• Red Potatoes
• Butter
• Cajun seasoning, perfect for a seafood boil experience.

• Parboil your potatoes for at least 7 minutes. Dice them and place them into boiling water until they are slightly fork tender.
