Description

Ingredients

• Amounts will vary by type of seafood and size of pot. The best assortment contains:
• Clams
• Shrimp
• Crab Legs
• Smoked Sausage
• Corn (on the cob)
• Red Potatoes
• Old Bay
• Fixings: cocktail sauce, hot sauce, lemon, butter, salt & pepper

Directions

• Prep seafood ingredients as necessary (leave shells on shrimp, though!). Slice sausage in 3 inch chunks, half large potatoes, and cut corn in half.
• Fill bottom of pot (just until it almost reaches the insert) with water.
• Put in first layer of ingredients (whatever takes the longest to cook). In our case we added potatoes, a sprinkle of Old Bay, sausage, a sprinkle of Old Bay, and then corn with a sprinkle of Old Bay. Once the water comes to a boil, we cooked it for 15 minutes.
• Then we added the clams with a sprinkle of Old Bay. Once they began to open (about 8 minutes) we added the shrimp and the crab legs.
• Once the crab legs are warmed through and the shrimp are pink, youre all done!
• Serve with melted butter and the rest of the fixings!
• Cooking time will have to be adjusted for the type of cook top, the size of the pot, amount of ingredients and what you have, but even though weve never quite known what to do, its never gone wrong!
• Just trust yourself and drink a beer. Itll turn out just fine!
