Instructions
- In a large (10 to 12-quart) stockpot, bring 5 quarts of water to a rolling boil over high heat. Stir in the Zatarain’s Crab Boil to get that spice going.
- Add the Zatarain’s Cajun Style Smoked Sausage, potatoes, celery, onions, and garlic. Cover and let it boil for 15 minutes, until the potatoes are fork-tender.

- Turn off the heat and let it all sit in the pot for 5 minutes so the flavors soak in. Meanwhile, whisk together the melted butter, garlic powder, Zatarain’s Creole Seasoning, and oregano in a large bowl.
- Drain the boil and serve with warm garlic butter sauce on the side for dipping.
