Dumplings are the seafood boil recipe add-on that once you start incorporating, you won't be able to stop!
Why do dumplings work so well in a seafood boil? It's because of how well they soak up the sauce and seasoning that typically goes into a seafood boil. This comes packed with tons of flavor thanks to Lee Kum Kee sauces like Chiu Chow Chili Crisp Oil, Panda Brand Oyster Sauce, and Sriracha Chili Sauce. This bold punch of umami, spicy, and garlicky flavors is not too far off from the dipping sauce you might use for classic dumplings, making this combo with seafood boil a match made in flavor heaven.
You can use any kind of dumplings you like for this recipe - maybe you'll even make your own dumpling recipe from scratch! Regardless, the one key item to not forget is a bowl of Sriracha Mayo on the side, perfect for dipping everything into.
Add the water, lemon, Lee Kum Kee Chicken Bouillon Powder, seafood boil seasoning, Cajun seasoning, bay leaves, and garlic powder to a large pot and bring to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook for 10 minutes, then add the corn, sausage, and shrimp and cook for 4 to 5 minutes more, until the shrimp are cooked through. Cook the dumplings according to package directions.
Heat a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the butter, Lee Kum Kee Minced Garlic, diced onion, seafood boil seasoning, Cajun seasoning, and garlic powder and cook for 2 minutes, until fragrant.
Stir in Lee Kum Kee Sriracha Chili Sauce, Lee Kum Kee Panda Brand Oyster Flavored Sauce, and Lee Kum Kee Chiu Chow Style Chili Crisp Oil.
Add the cooked potatoes, corn, sausage, shrimp, and dumplings to the sauce and toss until evenly coated.
Transfer to a large serving platter and garnish with parsley and green onions. Serve with Lee Kum Kee Sriracha Mayo and lemon wedges on the side.
