Ingredients
  • 1/2 - 3/4 cup Old Bay Seasoning
  • 2 tbl salt
  • 1 gal water
  • 1 12 oz bottle Bavarian beer
  • 8 medium red potatoes, quartered
  • 2 large sweet onions, cut into wedge
  • 2 lb Kielbasa, cut into 2-inch lengths
  • 8 ears fresh corn, broken in half
  • 4 lb large shrimp in shells
  • 6 Cherrystone clams
  • lemon

Directions
  1. Bring Old Bay, salt, water and beer to boil in 8- to 12-quart pot (with basket if you have one) on high heat. Add potatoes and onions; cook 8 minutes.
  2. Add smoked sausage to pot; cook 5 minutes. Add corn and clams; cook 7 minutes or until clams open. Add shrimp in shells; cook 4 minutes or until shrimp turn pink.
  3. Drain cooking liquid. Pour contents of pot into several large bowls, shallow pails or mound on paper-covered picnic table. Sprinkle with additional Old Bay, if desired.
  4. Note: Ingredients are added according to the length of cooking time, starting with ingredients that take the longest time to those taking the shorted time. Seasoning is by preference. I tend to go with the larger amount because the flavors need to permeate the shrimp and other ingredients.
