Directions
Step 1:
Mix the spice blend together in a small container and set aside.
Step 2:
In a medium-size saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Skim off the white foamy milk solids to clarify the butter. Using a micro plane, grate the garlic into the butter, stir in 2 Tbsp of the spice blend, and cook for 2 minutes. Set aside and serve alongside the boil.
Step 3:
In a very large stockpot fitted with a perforated insert, bring 10 quarts [320 oz] water to a boil. Add the wine, onions, garlic, lemons, thyme, and bay leaves. Stir in the remaining Cajun spice blend. Add the potatoes and cook until mostly cooked for about 10-15 minutes. Add the lobster tails and boil for 2-3 minutes. Turn off the heat, add the corn and chorizo, cover, and let everything finish cooking, about 5 minutes more.
Step 4:
On a table, cover the surface in newspaper or butcher paper. Carefully remove the perforated insert to drain the boil. Or gently pour through a colander set in the sink. Scatter the boil over the table and drizzle liberally with the cajun butter, serving the rest of the side with lemon wedges.
