Ingredients

• 4 lemons, halved
• 6 bay leaves
• 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons Old Bay seafood seasoning
• 2 large garlic heads, halved horizontally
• 6 medium onions, peeled and quartered
• 2 dried chilies
• 1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt
• 16 sprigs fresh thyme, tied together with kitchen twine
• 1 pound clams
• 1 pound mussels
• 2 pounds new red potatoes, unpeeled, halved if large
• 8 ears fresh corn, shucked and broken in half
• 2 pounds tail on shrimp, uncooked (frozen is OK)
• 6 lobster tails, uncooked (frozen is OK)
• 2 pounds spicy Cajun style Andouille sausage (whole)
• Butter, salt and pepper, hot sauce and French bread for serving

Directions

• Fill a 6 quart stockpot with 4 1/2 quarts of water. Squeeze lemons into water and add rinds. Add bay leaves, seasoning, garlic, onions, chilies, 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt, and thyme. Bring water to boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes. Add potatoes and simmer 12 minutes. Add corn and simmer 5 minutes. Add shrimp, lobster, clams, and mussels to pot. Add whole Andouille sausage. Cover, and simmer until lobster is opaque and sausage is cooked through (if not precooked) – about 5 minutes. If using a steam basket, remove it from the stock pot and serve food right from the basket or dump food onto a newspaper covered table or onto trays. Otherwise, use tongs to pick out the pieces of seafood, corn, sausage, and potatoes into a large bowl. Serve seafood boil with melted butter and/or hot sauce. Squeeze and spread the cooked garlic on French bread. Serve the corn and potatoes with butter and salt and pepper.
