Seafood Boil

Ingredients

• 2 lb Dungeness crab clusters
• 1 lb Large shrimp, shell-on
• 12 oz Smoked sausage (e.g., Andouille)
• 1½ lb Baby red potatoes
• 4 Ears of corn
• 1 Yellow onion
• 6 clove Garlic
• ¼ cup Old Bay seasoning
• 2 Lemon
• ½ cup Unsalted butter (optional)
• ¼ cup Fresh parsley (optional)
• 1 tbsp Salt
• ½ tsp Black pepper
• 12 cup Water

Steps

1. Chop potatoes into halves or quarters if large. Cut corn into 2-3 inch pieces. Slice sausage into 1-inch thick rounds. Roughly chop onion and mince garlic.
2. In a very large stockpot, add water, chopped onion, minced garlic, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat.
3. Add potatoes to the boiling water, reduce heat to medium-high, and cook for 10-12 minutes until slightly tender.
4. Add sausage and corn to the pot and continue to cook for another 5-7 minutes.
5. Add crab clusters and shrimp to the pot. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until shrimp are pink and opaque and crab is heated through.
6. Carefully drain the cooking liquid. Serve the seafood boil immediately on a large platter or newspaper-covered table. Garnish with lemon wedges and fresh parsley, and serve with melted butter for dipping, if desired.
