Any of you Huddlers ever made your own boiled peanuts?

Ok, so I have a Bayou Classic set up I use for different things, turkey fryer for Thanksgiving, chicken wings for game days and the occasional low country boil. This weekend I want to try my hand in the unknown.

What I now want to do is task myself with the painful and rewarding job of boiling peanuts in it. I plan on doing maybe five pounds as I will be sharing and freezing some for a future snack. I want them cajun/spicy style. I recently had some that just blew my socks off and I want to replicate what I had. However, I have no idea what ingredients were being used. I do know, crushed red pepper was among them. Delicious!

 

I'm not even a novice at this procedure and it will be my first time. I have done some cursory research and have a basic idea of the ingredients I will be using and the process in which I will be enduring. I wanted to reach out to any fellow huddlers that may have experience with this.

Anyone? Talk to me.

yes and I use that old bay seasoning and toss the peanuts in a crock pot

Wait, crock pot? How long they gotta cook? On high or low?

You're all useless.

For five lbs, just use a big pot on the stove. Easier to regulate the heat. Lots of salt, old bay, and a little cayenne.

On a side note, I found a place to buy chicken skin in bulk today.

Prepare the water...few gallons, cayenne, pepper flakes, salt, and cajun seasoning.

Soak peanuts for a couple hours in the water before boiling, it will cut down the time a little so you don't waste gas.

Boil for 2.5-4 hours depending on how you like them done.

Eat.

P.S. I have thrown all kinds of stuff in the water while they cook, from onions to carrots for some sweetness.  Almost hard to mess them up to be honest.

      Not totally inaccurate, haha Except that kid wasn't as excited as I was.  I was yelling louder, and more, and running around the room in circles until I almost passed out from exhausting and was trying to catch my breath for a good 10 minutes because I'm way too old to be doing that, LOLOL Oh, and I tweaked a muscle in my shoulder from all the punching the air I was doing too. For as awesome as that pick was for me, it really screwed me up for a few days between my shoulder and lost voice (Wrexham securing back-to-back-to-back promotions Saturday afternoon contributed to that though too).

      Full disclosure and the real reason.... I'll be seeing my Nephew in basically one month from today, and while I've gotten him stuff from my other teams the past year, I hadn't been willing to saddle him with Panthers stuff yet, that's now changed lol. So if the jersey would get to me before I see him, I'd get that and him his first Panthers onesie/shirt so I can get a picture of us together in them. If it wouldn't get to me by then, I'd just wait to get the one I prefer.  So yea, my rush is really just about trying to get a picture of myself in it with my Nephew in Panthers gear too.
