Seriously southern, Hot and Spicy Boiled Peanuts!

You know you’re in the South, when you pass little road-side stands with hand painted “boiled peanuts” signs. They pretty much so holler at you, that you can’t help but pull over and buy a hot steamy bag of them to christen your road trip.

Boiled Peanuts are the epitome of Southern culture.

I love those local make-shift road side stands! You can find the best local produce, snacks to go and meet some of the most amazing people. While at the local market the other day, I came across a massive bag of raw green peanuts. Yaaasss! I’m pretty sure you can figure out how this ends up. Nope, I didn’t hesitate for a minute, I grabbed myself a bag (massive bag, by the way) and headed home to make this recipe for hot and spicy, Tabasco spiked Boiled Peanuts. Honestly, boiled peanuts and sweet iced tea are basically the official snack and drink of every Southern road trip I’ve ever taken, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Now, you may have seen other recipes that require you to soak them for 8 hours or overnight and then boil them. This is not that kind of recipe. No soaking required. Plain and simple, boil ’em up and enjoy!

You can make this recipe in a large stock pot as I did, or you can adapt the recipe and make these boiled peanuts in the Crock Pot. Simple. Easy. Done.

Enjoy!
