Directions:In a very large stock pot 2/3rds full of water bring the quartered onion, lemons, and Crab Boil, and/or Old Bay to a full rolling boil. Carefully add the potatoes (I add everything on a soup ladle so that they don't splash and burn someone) and time this for 20 minutes. Add the cut-up sausage,timing this for 5 minutes. Now add the corn (and snow crab if you are adding it). Boil 3 more minutes. Take the pot off the heat and add the shrimp (and optional snow peas). Let set for one minute with lid covering pot. Have a big bowl of ice cubes ready and have colanders in the sinks. When the shrimp are pink and their shapes have turned into "C"s, not "O's (which only takes about 1 minute or less), dump the stockpot into the colanders in the sinks to strain off all liquid. Immediately throw ice cubes onto the shrimp to stop their further cooking. Discard onion and lemon. Sprinkle with additional Old Bay and serve the whole meal in the center of a paper or plastic lined picnic table. Everyone sits around the heaping table and helps themselves. Serve with cocktail sauce and butter for the corn, salt/pepper, and some good hard crusty bread. |
