🌊 Why You’ll Love This Recipe

If you love seafood boils and ramen noodles, this dish brings you the best of both worlds. Imagine buttery Cajun seafood dripping in spicy garlic sauce… tossed with chewy ramen noodles that soak up every drop of flavor.

It’s bold. It’s indulgent. And it’s the kind of meal that makes everyone at the table say, “Wow.”

🦐 Ingredients You’ll Need

For the seafood boil:

  • 1 lobster tail (split in half)

  • ½ lb large shrimp (peeled & deveined)

  • ½ lb smoked sausage, sliced

  • 2 corn cobs, cut in halves

  • 1–2 small potatoes, halved

  • 2 eggs (boiled and peeled)

  • 2 packs ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets)

For the Cajun butter sauce:

  • 1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter

  • 4 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning (like Slap Ya Mama or Old Bay)

  • ½ teaspoon paprika

  • ½ teaspoon lemon pepper

  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar

  • Juice of ½ lemon

  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce (optional, for extra kick)

🍲 Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Boil the seafood and veggies

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook for about 10 minutes.
Add corn and cook another 5 minutes.
Then add sausage, shrimp, and lobster tail — boil for 3–4 minutes, just until seafood is cooked through. Drain and set aside.

Step 2: Make the Cajun butter sauce

In a large skillet or wok, melt butter over medium heat.
Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute).
Stir in Cajun seasoning, paprika, lemon pepper, brown sugar, and lemon juice. Add a splash of hot sauce if you like it spicy.
Simmer for 2–3 minutes to thicken slightly.

Step 3: Cook the ramen

While the sauce simmers, cook ramen noodles according to package directions (just until tender). Drain and toss directly into the Cajun butter sauce.

Step 4: Combine everything

Add your cooked seafood, sausage, corn, and potatoes to the skillet. Toss well so everything gets coated in that buttery, spicy goodness.

Top with the boiled eggs (halved), extra lemon wedges, and fresh parsley for garnish.

🔥 Serving Ideas

Serve your seafood boil ramen straight from the skillet for that messy, family-style vibe — it’s meant to be shared!

Pair it with:

  • Garlic bread or crusty baguette (to soak up the sauce!)

  • A cold beer or sparkling lemonade

  • Extra hot sauce and lemon wedges on the side

🌟 Tips & Variations

  • Make it creamy: Stir in ¼ cup of heavy cream or evaporated milk before adding the noodles for a creamy Cajun version.

  • Add heat: Toss in cayenne pepper or chili flakes to spice things up.

  • No lobster? Substitute with crab legs, mussels, or scallops.

  • Quick version: Use pre-cooked shrimp and sausage — just heat them in the sauce.
