Carolina Shrimp Boil

Recipe

• 8 pounds large unpeeled shrimp
• 8 quarts water
• 8 rounded tablespoons Old Bay Seasoning (more to taste)
• 30 small new potatoes (or larger ones, halved or quartered)
• 5 large onions, halved
• 15 ears corn, shucked and cut into thirds

In large cooker, bring water to rolling boil. Add seasoning. Add potatoes and onions. Continue to boil until potatoes are almost done, about 10 minutes. Add corn and cook until done, about 3 minutes. Add shrimp and cook until done, about 3 to 5 minutes. Drain and serve.

Many people like to shake additional Old Bay over the food after draining it. Also, you can add smoked sausage to the pot. Cut into pieces about 1 ½-inches long and add after the potatoes. Other seafood seasonings can be used for flavor. Follow package instructions for amounts and cooking methods.
