1. Corn is a classic addition to seafood boils. Cut ears of corn into smaller pieces, and they’ll absorb the flavorful broth.
2. Baby, red, or fingerling potatoes are great options. Cut them into smaller pieces so they cook evenly and absorb the broth’s flavors.
3. Sliced onions add sweetness and depth of flavor to the boil. You can use yellow onions or red onions.
4. Whole garlic cloves or minced garlic can be added to the boil for extra aromatic flavor.
5. Celery provides a refreshing crunch and mild flavor that complements the richness of the oxtail and seafood.
6. Colorful bell peppers (red, green, or yellow) add sweetness and a pop of color to the dish.
7. Sliced carrots add a touch of sweetness and a nice texture contrast.
8. Frozen okra is a classic Southern addition to seafood boils. It can add a unique flavor and a bit of thickening to the broth.
9. Cherry tomatoes or diced tomatoes can add a hint of acidity and freshness.
10. Fresh green beans can be a tasty addition and provide a vibrant green color.
11. Savoy cabbage or Napa cabbage can be sliced and added near the end of cooking for a mild, leafy component.

Sliced mushrooms, such as cremini or shiitake, can contribute earthy flavors to the boil but should be added later so they don’t break down as much. All of these vegetables can help soak up the flavors of the broth while adding a different texture to the dish.

• Keep on low heat, covered for 1 more hours.
• When everything is tender – fall off the bone to your liking, drain liquid and remove the oxtail boil pieces

If you did add bay leaves you will remove and discard them before serving. Serve with slices of warm bread and you’re set.
