Hot and Spicy Boiled Peanuts
Easy to make, flavored with a nice dose of Old Bay and a bit of Tabasco Sauce to sober up these southern "road-trip" favorites, Boiled Peanuts!
Ingredients
- 2 lbs raw green Peanuts, in their shells
- 6 oz Old Bay seasoning
- 6 Tbsp Tabasco Sauce
- ½ cup Salt
- Water
Instructions
- In a large stock pot, add the Peanuts, cover with water. Stir in the seasonings and bring to a boil over medium high heat, cooking for about 1 1/2 hours for "al dente" or up to 3 hours, adding water if needed, for softer boiled peanuts.
- Remove from heat, allow to cool slightly. Enjoy hot or chilled.
- Can be kept in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Notes
If you wish to tone down the spicy bit, just decrease the amount of Tabasco Sauce or completely omit.
To make in the Crock Pot:
In a 6 qt. Crock Pot, add the raw peanuts plus remaining ingredients, cover with about 10 cups of water and cook on low for 20 - 24 hours. Drain and serve hot or chilled.
