Your outtakes are hilarious. 😂
My book should be arriving Saturday. I’ve already have your knife (beautiful) and I’m gonna practice right away. Thanks😀🧄🧅🥔🌽🥕🥒
What time is dinner Chef?
I will check this out
I know you have merch.. But if you sole a T with "The worst word in the world sauce" folks would buy it! I know I would!
I wasn’t sure where this video was going since I’ve made tons of seafood boil and was about to write this video off. But dang this guy broke out my secret recipe spice…the caldo de pollo bullion….hahaha. Once I saw that and what he did I was like ok this guy is legit. My man! He knows what’s up that sauce is what most folks are missing when they want to make what the restaurants make. Anyone can add stuff to hot water what separates home cooked boils from restaurants is that sauce he is making. My man nailed it! Also, I’ve made hundreds of boils in my life time. As he has stated the key is always prepping and preheating the corn and potatoes and other items. Good boils are all about timing. Regardless of what anyone says a one pot boil ain’t goin to cut it. If not you WILL have MUSH! I subscribed as soon as he said “no one likes mushy crab or lobster” amen!
Cooking period is about timing
Hello! If you were to sell the boil he made, what would you charge? Thank you
@@SadLOVESONJIthat’s a good $75-$80 bag
Yup the seasoning is the boss!lol
I have made this dish twice and my family is completely quiet. You can hear a pin drop when I make this seafood boil for my family. Thank you so much for sharing an amazing recipe.
I’m making this tonight for me and my boyfriend. He’s going to be fresh off a flight home. I hope he loves it!
I made this for my wife for Mother’s Day, she said it was real good. Thanks very much!
good man 👍
FINALLY came upon a recipe where the seafood is cooked IN the boil. So many people on YT making sauces and cooking the seafood separately then just pouring sauce on seafood. Never understood how they call those recipes boils.
They don't use the plastic
I'm originally from New Orleans and now in L.A. for half my life!!!! But I love your cooking! You are amazing! It's the best channel I've ever seen!!! ❤
I did this and turned out great
That lemon and orange is a game changer
Agreed! It was my first time doing seafood bags. Probably the most expensive meal I've ever cooked too but well worth it!
@@SDeezy593 how much was it if you dont mind me asking?
@shamchopyarp I don't recall honestly but I came up on some king crab legs at Sam's Club which reduced the overall cost. Ironically I'm planning to make this again today. I'll likely grab the potatoes from Sam's too in bulk and I still have some legs and shrimp frozen. Go bulk when you can for sure. Thanks this saved me from having to look for this vid on my saved list 👍🏽
@SDeezy593 well at least I helped 😀
Was it over $200?
@shamchopyarp I don't believe so but I also didn't use lobster tails. Maybe close with the crab legs? But the mmmm's made it worth it. And it lasted a few days too.
I’ve made your recipe about 3 times now and I am absolutely obsessed with this sauce. It is absolutely delicious. I’ve actually saved some of the sauce and used it with other dishes! I’m actually going to make this sauce regularly and have it on had because I absolutely love it! Thank you thank you thank you for this recipe. It has made my cooking life so much better! You the GOAT!!!
Roughly how long do you bake bag?
Your blogs gave me inspiration of cooking. Since I moved in my place I haven’t ate out. And I made this the first day I moved in. All this saved me some money. I usually spend a good $200 for seafood boils.
“ Bite size pieces “ the sausage 😮😂
😂😂😂😂
😂😅
I love that you're using Avocado oil and Kerrygold butter instead of vegetable or seed oils.
Finally I've come across a recipe (Seafood Boil) that don't require 12 different spices. This is so simple and economically my favorite. I have all the spices on hand so I don't have to go crazy trying to gather everything that other Seafood Boils have so I Thank You
I use Slap Ya Mama seasoning, and drop in some lemon
Lmao whitest comment 🤣SEAFOOD BOIL SPOSED TO HAVE A LOT OF SEASONING
Im dying to make a seafood boil one of these days, but I was wondering about frozen vs live seafood.. I can get a lot of stuff fresh and live, which in most cases is better tastewise.. so i was wondering, does it make a difference in a boil as well? If so, then how do you prep stuff? Ive seen videos where like a ton of crawfish were tossed in alive.. what about cleaning and deveining?
@@goobietheshooterrace has nothing to do with this bozo

You know Matt, I think your film, lighting, background music, and really your whole quality of what makes your RUclips cooking show? Is the most quality content I have ever seen! As you have a really awesomeness of coolness but homedown vibe and I have spent my whole Friday night watching all of your videos. And I just wanted to say that I just love your channel. You present the best quality, and your food ideas are so original, and never do you bore your viewers. I just had to say something. I love your channel? And yet a whole slew of people present your work. And so kudos to all involved in your awesome and entertaining cooking show! ❤
Matt this is a nice seafood boil bag tutorial. I love the way you made your butter glaze sauce to go over your seafood content. Everything about this recipe is amazing and great. I will be using this recipe tutorial to make my seafood boil bag. Thanks for sharing your amazing cooking talent with us today!!! ✌🏾✌🏾♥️
❤❤❤❤
I agree with @opalivy. Everything about this tutorial is great. I consider this Seafood Boil Bag a 5 Star dish. And the picture presentation deserves to be rewarded. The 2 sticks of butter, man lots of garlic, and lemon, and oranges makes this taste awesome. I can't give you stars here, but will you accept 5 hearts❤❤❤❤❤ 😊.
The best seafood boil in a bag is your own! Looks deeeeelicious 😋🤤! I'm going to add my shrimp, lobster tail, crawfish, and scallops last next time I make a bag because you're right, it does turn out overly cooked! Thanks👍🏾!
This recipe looks amazing prepping to try it tomorrow.. sharing a hack.. spread some butter on the crab leg knuckles before you put them in the bag. This allows the butter to melt thru the claw and makes them easier to get the all of the crab meat when you break them open. Your tips are amazing thanks for sharing...
what do you mean knuckle? the part where it bends? I'm really curious now. lol
Yes, the part that bends😂
I'm hoping he's talking about what I do which is season and place garlic at the top of the cluster take a gold slice of butter 🧈 and mold it over the garlic so while in the oven that slow release get down into the meat 🤤😋 yum!!!!
Me and my kids went to red crab and had this we had so much fun this is a great dish to bring everyone together.
Oh honey, your Seafood Boil Bag is a thing of beauty. I thought, "Well, I'll watch it, but it's probably going to be super time consuming to actually prepare", but nooo, you've made it pretty darn easy, using the oven and turkey bags... genius! Thank you, I'm definitely going to be making this at home!
I love this young man and all of his recipes are marvelous!! Thank you so much for sharing your magnificent recipes and techniques. You now have a faithful follower. Keep up the great work!
How long in the oven before adding the shrimp & lobster?
Thank you for putting the tip in about adding the shrimp and lobster last...I'm sooooo tired of seeing overcooked seafood 👍🏽... this looks delish!!!
Your eggs also they last after everything the eggs should be tossed right before you serve the boil bag❤
Looks delicious only thing I would alter is cutting the potatoes in half . That way they’ll absorb the flavor better.
Thank you! I just made this yesterday. Crab legs were on sale at Winn Dixie. Hubby loved it!
That crab leg sale was amazing❤
I used this recipe tonight for my family. I did not have corn and cooked baked potatoes on the side. I also added brown sugar to help the sauce sticks
It was a winner! Kids, husband and father in law all ate. It was great! A winner recipe
How long did you let your crab legs cook. Before adding the shrimp. What temperature for the oven.
I tried this recipe tonight and hooonneeyyy this will be my go to recipe for seafood for now on!!!
Your recipe is going to save me some money now that I can make it happen myself 😊
yes indeed
Juicy Crab ain't got nothing on Mr. Make It Happen,👑🌟💯
I gotta agree! lol
@@MrMakeItHappen, FR🤭
Facts!
@@BenjiTheFrenchbulldog,💯💯💯
💯 literally!!!
@MrMakeItHappen…thank you for blessing our heart and all of our seafood boil parts with this recipe. I was in such a rush that I forgot the potatoes and corn to put in the bag, I also add a good helping of Kimmy’s “Yes that much” seasoning to it also and OMG! My neighbors smelled the base cooking and was at the door, haha. This is a great recipe. Thank God for your skillset.
Watching something I can never eat 😢. Looks so good
That seafood sauce looks outstanding! I'll be making this recipe very soon.
You have the biggest teaspoon portions I’ve ever seen! Food looks delicious btw 🙂
Lol my stomach is so full from breakfast but this has my mouth watering. Will be trying this over the weekend, love your channel🙌🏾
enjoy! thanks for your support
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME😘

It was delectable. First time eating and making seafood boil so I was unsure of how it should taste.
Not that this recipe needs anything added but I included some honey & creole seasoning
Haven’t had a seafood boil in sooo long! Can’t wait to try this!
We are making this for. My favorite brother’s birthday 🎂
Hi Mr Make It Happen, Im Laura and a new subscriber. Your seafood boil bag looked amazingly delicious. And when you took a bite, your face said it all! Im drooling right now! Great video.❤
Oh yum.....$200 recipe for sure! Dream recipe! I can almost smell it from here in Newfoundland! Just call Worcester sauce..."the magic ingredient" like my mom did! Lol!
You’re the boss. I have a large supply of your AP seasoning, hot AP, and Lemon Bae (wow!) seasonings. The thermometer too. I’m all in. Everything, and I mean everything I’ve made from your videos has been a gastronomic highlight. No kidding. People I’ve served have asked me, “what did you do with this dish? It’s life changing!” Keep up the great work. I like your approach to cooking. Not fussy precision, but just fun and delicious eating afterwards. You DO have the beat job in the world!
i lived in fairbanks near the dock. the huge fishing boats used to throw the lobster & crab in grocery bags if ya gave them to the deck hands for a cold six pack. wow. great eating for weeks.
This video is right on time I just had a boil bag from boil Bay yesterday and you were right my corn was mushy. I'm going to make two bags, one for me and my daughter this week. I already got corn on the cob and shrimp. I just need potatoes, sausage, and what other seafood I want to add.
It's perfect not prefect.
Cool recipe; will try it next time I have a seafood boil.
I bought that Kerrygold butter.
Wow... that is some good butter. It tastes so good on my homemade popcorn too.
This recipe looks so good.
Thank you.
so good! and better for you too
We're big fans of Kerrygold and the family joke is 'Mom puts KGB on everything but Skittles'! 🤤
All dairy and meat produce from Ireland are the very best in the world. No exaggeration.
Irish butter is the best...goes for about $10 a pound here !
About how long did you bake it before adding in the shrimp? @@MrMakeItHappen
KERRYGOLD pure Irish butter, cant be beaten
Looking good. Trying this recipe this weekend
This makes me wish I lived in Maine or New Orleans or San Fran . I can't imagine how great this is with all fresh seafood!
Gonna try this boil in a bag.... looks great and maybe my boys wont smell it as much!!! Thanks for the real tip!!!💞
thanks for your support
LOL here for a good time not a long time 😂😂 I live for this
Oh my God I just realized I’m starving
Looks good. Have to try it. Thanks for sharing.
Looks 😊 so good! Not sure 🤔 if I missed it, but did you say how long approximately & what temperature? Thanks!
He said 400 but not how long
THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO I WHIPPED UP TWO DOPE ASS BOIL BAGS FOR ME AND MY WIFE SHE LOVED IT 🔥✅‼️🫡😎
Yo I was about to dive into my phone to get a taste….. that looked so delicious!
thank you for all the cool info and tips making this for my momma mothers day 2024!!

This is a delicious recipe i tried crab boil and shrimp and sausage.
Make it happen!!!❤
I am excited for this one.
thanks for your support
straight lol'd at "WORST WORD IN THE WORLD". My brother, this looks amazingggg.
How long did you cook it before adding the lobster and shrimp ?
Shrimp and lobster takes probably no more than 7 minutes to cook. I would never peel the shrimp in a boil. Leaving the shell adds flavor. I'm not sure what this guy is doing. You don't need to do all that. Boil everything, start with corn first then potatoes, then sausage then the seafood at the end for 5 to 10 minutes
@@platinumfights1128they asking how long to cook the boil BEFORE adding the shrimp is it 20 minutes then add the shrimp and then let it finish cooking for another 5-7 min
@@LandSpecialistTXwhat temp in the oven??
Looks wonderful...definitely gonna try this.
Hi! This is fab! Can you make some French Onion Soup please!? I can’t quit get it right. My mother passed I have a block… she made the best french onion soup! ❤
This looks so delicious, the presentation is great. I don't eat seafood but I'm going to try the recipe for my family when we get together. Thanks so much for sharing.
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe and it looks delicious 😋!
GOOD COOKING CLEAN COOKING BEAUTIFUL COOKING LOOKING GOOD
LOVE GARLIC.AND THAT IRISH 🧈 BUTTER COST A LITTLE MORE BUT WORTH IT
I been waiting all my life for this. From you lol. Yassssss
here ya go!
Awesome! Thank you for this wonderful video recipe. This looks so delicious. I hope all is well in Your world 🌎. Mark Bensette Aux Bois 🇨🇦.
thanks for your support
How long should you bake the crab
I love the new name for Worcestershire sauce.. "wors what in the world sauce" 😂😂
Yummy! Want to try that recipe plus couple boiled eggs 😋🤤
I've been doing this all wrong
Thanks for your recipe. Looks delicious I love seafood
Oh man!!! Lookin’ good! Thank you!!! Can’t wait to do this 😊
thanks for your support
@@MrMakeItHappen I love watching your videos!
Excellent video!
Garlic & Roasted Garlic, yes.
Love the recipe. I only wish you had mentioned times. How long to leave boil/shrimp in oven for. ❤
True, I enjoy specifics with times as well, but most of what you're using is already partially cooked or already cooked (like my crab legs) before it even goes in the bag. The exception is the shrimp but that's literally during like the last 10 minutes of cooking. Worst-case use a thermometer to prevent overcooking.
I also didn't thaw my fully cooked Crab legs. My brother that's a chef suggested that and they were damn good and juicy
@@SDeezy593good tip!
Thank you so much planning on doing this tomorrow ❤
Omg this looks AMAZING
thanks for your support
Omg. I just tried mashed potato recipe. Just like you said. Never pour cold onto hot. Then I tired your recipe. Omg amazing amazing amazing. Thank you so much. I’m walking around the house like a rock star here🤣 Thanks so much
Did I miss the part where you said how long you cook it and at what temp?
400° but still searching for how long before adding the shrimp and lobster. He just says "when the crab legs are done and the potatoes are tender". Just curious at an appropriate time to avoid over cooking?¿
10:49 He said to cook until the crab legs are done and the potatoes are tender
I have never made a seafood bag before. Thank GOODNESS for you sharing this amazing recipe! You made me look so damn good serving this up to my hubby! You can serve that butter sauce on a flip flop and it’ll be delicious?😂✨💯✨Thanks
Thank you so much for uploading this recipe. I love Seafood boils and can’t wait to make this . I will be sure to grab some of your AP and LemonBae, so I can definitely “make it happen!”
❤
Made this for valentines for my family. It was absolutely delicious 🥰😋

I love you....your cooking and personality is speaking to my love language. Bon Appétit 😘
I saw him first. Get in line, Sister.
What was total cooking time? Temperature?
Getting ideas my menu for Christmas eve is boil sea food. Look yummy
Can we use red pepper flakes instead of the hot sauce. Watching the salt content
I was thinking the same thing, I have high blood pressure….
absolutely
Bro love your channel. I’ll be thinking “I wish someone would do…” and then you’ll post that thing exactly.
Oh yes!! My favorite meal minus the sausage. This looks so delicious. Never made it in the bag, always a boil. Tfs, Will be trying it real soon.
I made it from Algeria and it's definitely delicious ❤thank you
Hi!! Looks so good!! I won’t be able to find andouille sausage like that. It’s always the store bought version.
use what you have
Mhmm yummy I'm making this for me n my family for Easter they wanted seafood and this lil concoction is perfect.❤ thanks
