Great for parties. If you dont have a reason for a party make this dish the reason! We have made this for my sons birthday party every year (he is only two)for the adults. It will be a family tradition. Thanks for the recipe. You can easily make changes to this recipe, so dont be intimidated.

How easy can you get?? This was super simple and so totally tasty. We used corn, sausage, potatoes, and shrimp. I didn't measure the Old Bay, just dumped in half a shaker and it seemed to be fine. We're going to the beach in a few weeks and I can't wait to make this again with fresh crab this time.

This was delicious! It was the perfect main dish for my clam bake. I added clams, mussels, crab legs and baby lobster tails.

This was too bland with just the old bay seasoning. Unfortunately I printed off the recipe long ago and didn't have time to re-read the reviews for additional opinions and ideas. I will make it again, but will add additional spices for more flavor in the finished dish.

Made this for staff at a Wood Badge training course. I was surprised to see them licking the newspaper! That was two years ago and they are still talking about it.

What a great recipe! I totally agree with the recommendation by a previous rater for the Old Bay/water mix (3/4 c. Old Bay to 6 quarts of water). It was perfect. Our group raved about the sausage (I think it was even preferred over the shrimp!), so we'd recommend adding a little more than the recipe calls for (we used Polska Kielbasa which was previously sauteed before adding to the pot). Bottom line: don't skimp on sausage!! Only change we'd do would be to cook the corn just a little longer. The time recommended in the recipe for fresh corn just didn't make it tender enough. Add maybe 2-4 minutes of corn cooking time. Also, adding the lemon and onion (as another reviewer recommended) was the right thing to do. Other than that it was simply wonderful!!! A highlight of our weeklong family vacation to the beach! Thanks for a great recipe!!! The Martin/Pressley clan!

Made this tonight for the neighbors and had great reviews. Measured: 1 cup of Old Bay Seasoning. Added: 1 bay leaf, 2 lemons quartered, 2 vidalia onions quartered, 1/2 of a bass pale ale and 1 lb of mussels. Filled a 22 qt pot 40% with water, the dash of bass and added the seasonings and bay leaf and brought to a boil. Once boiling I added the 5 lbs of quartered potato's and the lemons and cooked for 10 minutes. I then added the precooked kelbasa and onions and cooked for another 5 minutes. Finished it off with the shrimp, crab legs, and mussels cooking for another 5 minutes and sitting for a final 5 in the pot. Drained and tossed in the middle of the table for the big finish. Everyone ate themselves silly. We will be doing this again with no additional changes. Great Recipe.

This recipe is so popular for large parties in GA! Many people add crawfish instead of crab and I always, always use quartered onions in the boil. The onions add great flavor to everything and are also yummy to eat!

Used it today for a fathers day meal. Went really well and everyone was super impressed. I did add some other stuff to the recipe like we threw in 4 dz. fresh clams, 7 lbs of king crab legs and some lemons. We feasted all day. Thank you for the info to get this meal started.

This was good, but I prefer the Zatarain's crab boil seasoning over Old Bay. I'll use that next time because I've had better success with it in the past. I used the Ekrich sausage with cheese in it, and it was so good!
