1. Food
A seafood boil must include: your choice of meat-usually shrimp, crawfish, or crab., red potatoes, onions, corn, lemon, seasoning, and so much butter that even Paula Dean is shaking.

Boils are fun and casual backyard parties so think big batch cocktails and local beer for drinks. If you feel like stepping it up a bit though check out our Summer Drink Recipes HERE for some inspiration.

3. Fun
Don’t forget to add some fun to the feast with some simple backyard games. You can’t go wrong with a nice set of cornhole games for the adults or children to play. Also, don’t forget the music!! We suggest setting up an outdoor speaker and creating a fun playlist ahead of time, or just find a good Pandora station.
