Time 55m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

12 ounces large shrimp, unpeeled
2 -3 frozen niblet ears of corn or 1 1/2 ears fresh corn, shucked
4 -5 ounces kielbasa or 4 -5 ounces smoked sausage, cut in 2 inch pieces
1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning, more to taste
2 small red potatoes, unpeeled (optional)
1 frozen snow crab legs, cluster (if used, reduce shrimp to 6-8 ounces per person) (optional)
crushed red pepper flakes, if you like it hot (optional)

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot half-full of water.
  • Bring it to a boil and add Old Bay seasoning and the sausage.
  • Bring back to boil and cook about 10 minutes.
  • Add ears of corn and bring to boil again.
  • If adding potatoes, add them with the corn.
  • Cook about 10 minutes.
  • If adding frozen crab legs, add them next.
  • Bring mixture back to a boil and immediately add the shrimp, cooking just until the shrimp turn pink.
  • Remove pot from burner.
  • Immediately drain pot and spoon mixture into large serving bowls.
  • Serve with cocktail sauce, saltine crackers and plenty of napkins, hand towels or paper towels.
  • This is always served as a casual meal because each person peels his own shrimp and it can get messy, but everyone enjoys it.
  • For large groups, we usually cook it outside in a huge pot over an open gas burner, like a King Kooker.
