Cajun Style Boiled Peanuts Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Place the rinsed in-shell peanuts in a slow cooker with all other ingredients.
• 2. Add enough water to cover & stir.
• 3. Since the peanuts will float until they are cooked a bit, place a heavy saucer inside the slow cooker to weight them down for the first few hours.
• 4. Turn the slow cooker on low, cover and allow to cook. After 4 or 5 hours, remove the saucer and add water if needed.
• 5. Continue to cook for a total of 24 hrs or until the peanuts are soft. Drain, serve hot or room temperature.

Steps:

• In large steel stock pot (for outside use) place peanuts and fill with water 3/4 full.
• Add all but the jalapeños.
• Place on gas burner and heat until boiling.
• Boil at a steady boil for about 6 hours, adding water as needed to keep pot at least half full.
• Stir occasionally.
• During last 2 hours add jalapeños.
• Taste at the end of the 6 hours for doneness. They should be completely soft and the inside of the shells are completely "wet" looking--no white remains visible.
• Eat hot or cold!
• They are great!
• Freeze some for later--just heat in microwave to enjoy that fresh out of pot taste again!

Steps:

• Place peanuts, crab boil, jalapenos, garlic powder, salt, Cajun seasoning, and red pepper flakes into a slow cooker. Pour in water to cover the peanuts and stir to combine. Cover and cook on Low until peanuts are soft, at least 24 hours. Stir occasionally, and add water as needed to keep peanuts covered. Drain; serve hot or cold.
