Ingredients
1 pound of raw "green" peanuts
1/4 cup kosher salt
4 cups water
2 tablespoons Old Bay Seasoning, smoked paprika, shrimp boil mix, or even star anise
Directions
Thoroughly rinse raw unshelled peanuts in water. Put water, salt, seasoning, peanuts in a large stockpot. Bring to a low boil. Cover and reduce the heat just enough to maintain a low boil. Boil for 2 to 3 hours or longer , until peanuts reach desired level of softness. Drain. Eat up within a couple of days. Boiled peanuts don't save as well as dry.
