Approximate Nutrition Information based on 1 ounce shelled boiled peanuts.

Expert Recipe Tips

• • Shell-on Peanuts: It's best to use raw or green peanuts that are still in the shell.

• • Sodium Content: Adjust salt according to your taste preferences. You can always start with less and add more if needed during cooking.

• • Seasoning Options: Besides cajun seasoning, you can experiment with additional seasonings like smoked paprika, garlic powder, or chili powder to add a unique flavor to your boiled peanuts.

• • Short Cooking Method: If you prefer a shorter cooking time, you can start with raw, shelled nuts, but the traditional method uses nuts in their shells.

• • Different Nuts: While traditionally made with peanuts, you can experiment with other nuts like cashews or almonds using a similar boiling method.

• • Add Spice: Cajun boiled peanuts are known for their spiciness. Adjust the amount of Cajun seasoning and hot sauce to suit your spice tolerance. See recipe on how much seasoning and how to adjust the amount of salt.

• • Refrigeration: If you plan to consume boiled peanuts within a few days, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Boiled peanuts can generally be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days.

• • Freezing: If you have a large batch or want to store boiled peanuts for an extended period, freezing is a good option. Allow the boiled peanuts to cool completely before transferring them to a freezer-safe, airtight container or freezer bags. Boiled peanuts can be frozen for several months. While they won't spoil after this time, their quality might gradually decline.

• • In Brine: Some people prefer storing boiled peanuts in the brine (the cooking liquid). This helps keep them flavorful and prevents them from drying out. Place the boiled peanuts along with the brine in an airtight container and refrigerate. This method is suitable for short-term storage.

• • Thawing: When ready to eat, thaw frozen boiled peanuts in the refrigerator overnight. Consuming them while they are still slightly chilled can be refreshing.

• • Quality Check: Before consuming refrigerated or thawed boiled peanuts, check for any signs of spoilage, such as off smells or changes in texture. Discard any peanuts that appear discolored or have an unpleasant odor.
