OMG!! I am from Canada and now live in the deep south. I was looking for something that was neither beef nor chicken, yet was an "all-in-one" meal with a southern kick. YUM - it was a HUGE hit!! I am officially a southerner - Thanks Dave!

Worked wonderfully! Reminds me of the Crab Pot in Long Beach. This is a cool meal to serve to people who love seafood.

I paired this down to two people, and made it for my husband. He LOVED it! We're now planning to serve it for our annual Summer Party.

This is my husbands favorite meal. We had some lemon and onions to the boil for a little more flavor.

Love this meal! Big hit every time. The turkey fryer with basket is the best way to cook. We also use the boil-in-bag Old Bay plus wrap it in cheesecloth before dropping into the water. Newspaper can be messy so we keep a roll of brown wrapping paper or brown paper grocery bags on hand. They are thicker and easier for clean-up. Thanks, Lisa.

Very very good and simple to make. I have changed it up a bit by adding carrots or changing the kind of sausage i use.

WONDERFUL!!!! We used this for our 4th of July picnic and It was a big hit. As others suggested we used 3/4 C old bay to 6 quarts water + 1 beer, 1 large sweet onion halved, 1 large lemon halved and several cloves of garlic. You can't go wrong with this recipe. Great for spending time entertaining your guests while serving a delicious one pot easy meal! We will be doing this again on the beach this weekend. PS, we had a few left over potato's and cut them up for hash browns in the morning and they were even better.

Great food. The boils back home had halved lemons. So, I added those the second make and it was perfect.

Excellent recipe, one of our favorite meals. The only thing I do differently is use beer (cheapest I can find - or the stuff left in the fridge that nobody wants) to boil everything in, instead of water. The beer adds a sweeter flavor to it all, especially the shrimp!

YUM! If you want to overeat - this is the recipe for it! DH and I made this tonight (we cut the recipe in half since it was just two of us), and we ate nearly all of it. Absolutely delicious! We had a great time making this together, as the preparation is fun, and can be done by several people. Also, it is fun, interactive eating as you dump it on the table, crack the crab, etc. Makes great dinner conversation and a real relationship with your food! The only thing I did differently was I added a pound of fresh clams (more shelling!), and 2 tablespoons of garlic (for our personal taste). Warning!... this is a two-hour nap recipe. When you wake up, you'll still be full... in a good way! :-) For those of you that were confused by the recipe because it doesn't specify, I used 6 quarts of water, and 6 ounces of Old Bay Seasoning (an entire 6 oz. container), so that all ingredients in the recipe were entirely covered). The other thing I would do next time is put the potatoes in later - they got a little too mushy for our tastes! Enjoy and bon appetit'! This is a great one all around. Three cheers for interactive eating!

You can't beat this recipe for a family feast! It was so easy to make, and came out perfect on the first try. I used the 3/4 cup Old Bay Seasoning per 6 qt. of water and it was just right. I also added 2 lemons cut in half, 8-10 garlic cloves, and 1/4 to 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper. I cooked the potatoes and corn about twice as long as suggested to ensure they were sufficiently tender, and it came out great. This will be a holiday staple in our household for a long time!
