Hey all, a fellow FT member and I had dinner on Monday night at Mad Boiler, a cajun seafood restaurant. The seafood was cooked perfectly, the following is how one orders:
For the cooking (all done in one bag), one chooses a type of seafood: Shrimp (Head on) • Shrimp (Head off) • King Crab Legs • Snow Crab Legs • Crawfish • Mussels • Clams • Lobster (Whole) • Lobster (Tail) • Blue Crab • Dungeness Crab
Then sauce: Garlic Butter • Sweet Chill • Coco Curry • Cajun Louislana Dry Rub
Then spice level, 1-4 chilies
Finally, any additions such as: Corn • Sausage • Potato • Bread • Jasmine Rice
I chose the head on shrimp w/dry rub, 3 chilies, and added sausage & potato.
Friend chose crayfish w/garlic butter, 3 chilies, corn
We were warned that the dry rub is especially spicy & did we really want 3 chilies, we assured the waiter we did.
Seafood comes out in the bags that the items have been cooked in, one then empties the contents into a tray & digs in.
Restaurant does supply plastic bibs & gloves. We wore the bibs and skipped the gloves.
ALL ARE WELCOME, who's interested in dinner?
