1 lb link pork sausage (36" polish sausage), cut in 1 1/2" links
3 lb new potatoes
1 large onion, chopped
1 large bell pepper, chopped
3 celery ribs, chopped
seafood seasoning
salt and pepper
6 ears of corn
6 crabs, fresh
3 lb fresh shrimp (raw, unpeeled)

Steps:

  • 5. Add shrimp and boil for 3 mins more. Remove from heat and let stand for 5 min. Drain and serve with additional seafood seasoning.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh shrimp and crab. If using frozen seafood, thaw it completely before cooking.
  • Be sure to clean the shrimp and crab thoroughly before cooking. Remove the heads, tails, and veins from the shrimp, and crack the crab legs.
  • Season the seafood generously with salt, pepper, and Old Bay seasoning. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or cayenne pepper, to taste.
  • Bring the water to a boil before adding the seafood. This will help to prevent the seafood from overcooking.
  • Cook the seafood for no more than 10 minutes, or until it is just cooked through. Overcooked seafood will be tough and chewy.
