What to Order at a Seafood Boil for a Group Dinner

What should you order at a seafood boil for a group? Order one pound of boiled seafood per person, split between two kinds of seafood, then add one shared side for every two people. For four people at Swamp Kingz that is 2 lb of snow crab, 2 lb of boiled shrimp, sausage, corn, hush puppies and boudin balls, about $28 per person before tax and drinks.

Sample orders for 2, 4, 6 and 8 people

Totals use Swamp Kingz menu prices before tax, tip and drinks, last checked in November 2026. The crawfish deals include corn, potatoes and sausage. Outside crawfish season, replace each 5lb Crawfish Deal with 1 lb of snow crab and 1 lb of shrimp.

Step 1: pick two kinds of seafood

A group boil works best with one premium item and one easy item. Snow crab legs ($19.99 per half pound, $29.99 per pound) are the centerpiece, and boiled shrimp ($14.99 per pound shell-on) fills the table for less. From late January through June, add crawfish with the 3lb deal at $20.99 or the 5lb deal at $34.99.

Step 2: choose sauces the whole table can share

Pick one sauce most people will like and one for contrast. Kingz Sauce, the house garlic butter Cajun blend, is the safe first choice. Garlic Butter suits kids and anyone avoiding heat, and Lemon Pepper Garlic Butter is a good second bag. Extra cups are $1.25–$1.50. Our seafood boil sauce guide compares them.

Step 3: add sides that soak up sauce

• In the bag: corn $1.50, potatoes (2) $1.50, boiled egg $1.50, sausage $4.99
• Fried and shareable: (8) hush puppies $5.99, (3) boudin balls $6.99, (5) egg rolls $6.99, Cajun fries $5.99
• For non-seafood eaters: wings, tenders or Cajun fried rice

Step 4: time it for the best deal

• Monday: half-price snow crab
• Tuesday: $1 tenders and half-price daiquiris
• Wednesday: $9.99 meals
• Thursday: wing special
