!Hola Familia!

Hi ,

How was your 4th of July? Mine was pretty relaxing. Like that Bruno Mars song, “Today I don’t feel like doing anything…”

We did have quite a bit of work before and after since the Christmas in July Box was a HUGE success. We sold out in 3 days!! Thank you all that jumped on that deal!!

If you missed out, I decided to update and extend the sale until the end of July. Since we are out of the holiday shipping boxes and stickers, I’ve updated the sale so that for the same price you get to choose your own 4 products instead. This time you get to choose between the Savory, Adobo or Salt-Free Adobo, and choose either of Rebeca Huffman’s products, the Annatto Seeds or the Taco Tuesday.

Shipping Price Update

Due to USPS consistent price increases, I’ve been forced to increase our flat rate from $4.95 to $5.95. Still a pretty good price considering USPS increased significantly (up to $2.11 on Ground Shipping). The good news is, we are keeping the FREE Shipping on orders over $50 (price after discount codes are applied). I recommend stocking up when you can. 

Savory Spice Mix - Name Change

Looks like SAVORY LATIN MIX is taking the lead. But not by much! SAVORY ALL PURPOSE and keep it SAVORY SPICE MIX are tied as a very close second. 

Can you help? Just follow this link and answer one question. It’ll literally take less than a minute. I would really appreciate it. Looking forward to seeing what name wins.

Our Next Tasty Thursday

Save the date, July 18 at 7pm! Elena from Made with Sazón will be joining me. We are making 2 of her recipes. Blackened Shrimp with Mango Salsa and a Passion Fruit Margarita. 

Seafood Boil, Healthy Rican Fam Style! 

A few weeks ago my nieces and I made a sea food boil for the first time and it was delicious! I wanted to share even though this recipe is just a guide since we kinda eyeballed everything. Check out the video I posted yesterday here.

If you’d like to follow along, here’s what you’ll need (all approximate quantities):

• Shrimp (32 oz)
• Crab legs (2 lbs)
• Baby potatoes (1.5 lbs)
• Lemons (3)
• Eggs (6)
• Onion (1)
• Zatarain’s Crab Boil (1 pack)
• Corn on the cob (6)
• Smoked sausage (14 oz pack)
• Butter (4 sticks)
• Garlic cloves (6-8)
• Old bay seasoning (1 oz)
• Healthy Rican Savory Spice Mix (2-3 tbsp)
• Healthy Rican Sazón (2-3 tbsp)
• Cajun seasoning (1-2 tsp)
• Cayenne pepper (1-2 tsp)
• Chili powder (1-2 tsp)
• Lemon zest (1-2 tsp)
• Black pepper (1-2 tsp)
• Salt to taste

Directions:

Boil the potatoes, lemons (halved), eggs, onion, crab boil pack, and corn, add seasonings of choice like sazón, paprika, cajun seasoning, etc. While those boil, cook the sausage. Once they are all cooked, strain and add all together in a large bowl. In the same pan you cooked the sausage, add the butter, garlic, all the seasonings, along with 1-2 cups (depending on how much garlic sauce you’d like to make) of the broth from the pot where you boiled the other ingredients. Cook for a few minutes. Make sure you try it and that the flavors are to your personal liking (add more spices as needed). Add the crab legs to the large pot of broth and allow to cook/warm up in the hot water. Once the crab legs are cooked/warmed up, add everything to a serving tray, add the broth on top, serve and enjoy!
