Ingredients
The following ingredients have 8 Servings
- 1 1/2 gallons water
- Juice (of 1 lemon)
- Salt (to taste)
- 3 tablespoons Old Bay Seasoning*
- Redskin new potatoes ((depending on size, 3 or more per person))
- 2 pounds spicy sausage ((like andouille or kielbasa, etc.), cut into 1/2-inch slices )
- 10 to 12 ears of shucked corn (on the cob, broken into 3-inch pieces)
- 4 pounds jumbo shrimp, (uncooked, in shell)
Instruction
- In a very large stock pot over medium-high heat, add the water, lemon, salt, and Old Bay Seasoning; bring to a boil.
- When the seasoned water comes to a boil, add redskin potatoes and boil for 20 minutes. When done, the potatoes should be easily pierced with a knife but not mushy.
- Add sausage and gently boil, uncovered, 5 minutes.
- Add corn and cook and continue cooking an additional 5 minutes (begin timing immediately, do not wait until water is boiling).
- Add shrimp and cook and additional 3 to 5 minutes longer. Do not overcook the shrimp. Remove from heat and drain immediately.
- Serve with lots of paper towels or napkins and ice-cold beverages, plus melted butter for the corn, cocktail sauce for the shrimp, and sour cream or ketchup for the potatoes. This is a messy dish; you’ll need a whole handful of napkins or paper towels.
- Yields 8 servings.
