Comment on I want to make a seafood boil but don't want to boil all the flavour away in a vat of water, would it turn out alright if I simmered it all in a bit of butter and old bay, spoon basting often.

  Have you tried?

  I cooked off shrimps in water and it was, not very good IMO, but people do it so try it out, only you will know of its good for you!

    I’ve tried it before and the taste of old bay was so overwhelming that I didn’t think I could use it for anything else other than a future seafood boil. Which is why I’m trying to avoid using a bunch of water this time

      Taste the water, it should be salted generously but it should taste good and to answer your previous question you can save it as a spiced seafood stock. Put it in a bisque, or make a seafood pasta with it, or boil your rice in it for some shrimp fried rice.
