š©š½š³ Instructions
1ļøā£ Roast the Cabbage
Preheat your oven to 400Ā°F.
Using a sharp knife, carefully remove the core from the cabbage, creating a well in the center.
Drizzle the cabbage with olive oil and season generously with Cajun seasoning.
Fill the center with:
- Butter
- Garlic
- Onion
Wrap the cabbage tightly in foil and place it in a baking dish.
Bake for 2 hours, or until the cabbage is fork-tender.
2ļøā£ Make the Jerk Seafood
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the shrimp and season with jerk seasoning.
Cook until the shrimp turn pink, about 2ā3 minutes.
Gently fold in the lump crab meat and cook for another minute, being careful not to break up the crab too much.
3ļøā£ Assemble
Carefully unwrap the roasted cabbage.
Spoon the jerk seafood mixture over the top, allowing the buttery sauce to run down into the cabbage.
Arrange the broccoli, corn, and boiled eggs around the cabbage for that classic seafood boil presentation.
4ļøā£ Serve
Serve warm and scoop out the cabbage with the seafood topping in every bite.
š„ Flavor Tip
Don't rush the cabbage! Roasting it low and slow allows the butter, garlic, and onions to soak into every layer, creating a tender, flavorful base that pairs perfectly with the jerk seafood.
