Step 1

Add the peanuts to a large pot. Pour in enough water to cover the peanuts. It's usually a couple gallons of water.

Step 2

Stir in the shrimp and crab boil and Cajun seasonings (or Creole seasonings) with salt.

Step 3

Add the habanero peppers, if using them. They add a very good level of heat to the whole batch.

Step 4

Dash in your hot sauce and give it a good stir.

Step 5

Bring the pot to a boil, then reduce heat. Partially cover the pot with a lid and simmer for 5 hours. Check it periodically to push the peanuts under the seasoned water.

Step 6

Cool. You can eat the peanuts now if you’d like, but to develop more flavor, cover and set the pot into the refrigerator.

Step 7

Refrigerate overnight to let the flavors develop. The peanuts will become much more infused with the seasonings as they steep in the liquid.

Step 8

Reheat on the stove top and enjoy.
