- 1/2 lb. Keilbasa (or other spicy, smoked sausage) per
- person
- 1/2 pound Raw shrimp in shell per person
- 3 Red bliss potatoes per person
- 1 Ear of corn per person
- 2 Lemons

- Garlic
- Bay leaves
- Old Bay Seasoning
- Black pepper
- Tabasco
Optional:
- 2 Small onions per person
- 1 Carrot cut into 4ths per person
- 1-2 crabs per person
Boil water in a large kettle on stove or outdoor cooker. Season water with salt and your choice of above flavorings along with the juice of two lemons or 2 tablespoons of vinegar. Add potatoes and cook for 10 minutes. Add carrots, sausage and onions. Bring back to a boil. When potatoes and carrots are almost tender, add corn and crabs. Bring to a boil, then add shrimp. Cook a few minutes until shrimp are just done - they will be pink in color. Drain and pour into a basket or onto platters. Have cocktail sauce and Dijon mustard at hand.
