INGREDIENTS

  • 8 oz. Old Bay Seasoning, divided
  • 3 lbs. red potatoes, medium size and cut into halves
  • 3 lbs. kielbasa, cut into about 2” pieces
  • 4 large sweet onions, cut into large chunks
  • 10 ears fresh corn, broken into halves
  • 1 dozen fresh crabs
  • 2 lbs. mussels
  • 2 lbs. clams, little neck
  • 1 lb. clams, steamer
  • 2 lbs. shrimp, tail on, peeled, deveined, large size

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Fill the large pot (32 quart) about two-thirds way with enough water to cover all the ingredients.
  2. Add 4 ounces of Old Bay seasoning, cover with a lid and bring to a boil.
  3. Add the potatoes, cover and cook for 10 minutes. Add the kielbasa, onions and corn. Cook another 15 minutes. Stir with paddle.
  4. Add the seafood (starting with crabs, mussels, clams then shrimp) and after each type, sprinkle on some of the remaining Old Bay seasoning. Stir with the paddle to blend seafood into other ingredients.
  5. Cover and cook another 8-10 minutes.
  6. Drain and serve. It’s good to have a big slotted scoop with a long handle to make this happen!
