Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 6 ears fresh corn on the cob, or 12 3-inch frozen cobettes
  • 1 1/2 cups Old Bay or other commercial shrimp boil seasoning
  • 2 pounds kielbasa or similar sausage (about 5 ounces per person)
  • 2 1/2 pounds fresh 36- to 40-count shrimp in the shell, heads removed (about 6 ounces per person)

Instruction

  • If using fresh corn, shuck and remove silks. Trim ends and break into halves. If using cobettes, keep frozen until cooking.
  • Fill a pot with water; it should be large enough to hold twice the volume of water as of ingredients. Add 1 cup of the seasoning and bring to a boil.
  • Add the sausage and corn, stir and bring back to a boil. Cook for 8 minutes. Add the shrimp and cook for 2 1/2 minutes, whether the water is boiling or not. Drain and then pour the shrimp, corn and sausage into a large bowl or onto an outdoor table covered with newspaper, sprinkling evenly with the remaining seasoning.
