Southern Cajun Boiled Peanuts

By: Jason Walters 
"This recipe comes from the peanut stands of Florida. I have lived in Florida my entire life and have found many Northerners fall in love with these peanuts the very first time they taste them. If you have never had peanuts from a roadside stand in Florida, then try these and you will taste what us Floridians love!"

Ingredients

  • 5 pounds raw peanuts, in shells
