Awesome! I used 3/4 cup Old Bay to 6 quarts of water as per the Frogmore Stew recipe. I used turkey kielbasa (to cut down on the fat), shrimp, clams, sea scallops and a baby lobster tail per person. It was to die for! I suggest using a turkey fryer as it has the basket with holes in it and you don't have to worry about dumping out the water and keeping the food in the pot. You can't go wrong...add whatever seafood and spices you have and it's perfect. Wonderful recipe to feed a crowd!

This recipe is outstanding. We added some white onions, lemons, and garlic cloves to the water. We also added Old Bay plus some Cajun seasoning to spice it up. The next day, we combined the leftover seafood and sausage with some mayo and celery for yummy cold sandwiches.

Made this for our annual 4th of July family picnic. Got RAVE reviews! It was the first time I had used Old Bay seasoning, and it's delicious. Adds great flavor.

We added 3 lemons cut in half, 4 onions, a couple of handfuls of garlic cloves & a couple of pounds of littleneck clams (which got lost in the mix so we won't repeat) & followed the rest of the ingredient amounts in recipe. We had 13 adults & 2 children & still had some leftover but we also served several appies. I wish the seasoning amounts were more specific...our's didn't have quite enough but now we know for next time. I also wish I had used a much thicker layer of newspaper on the tables....you need a lot to absorb the moisture & prevent it from tearing on you when you clean up.

Wow...what a great dish. My niece and her family did this on the beach at our family reunion and it just made the night that much more spectacular! Dumped it on paper covered picnic table and let the feast begin...it was great! Would highly recommend it...especially for a large group...we had 25.

We went to a "Southern" Wedding Reception where this was served, speaking from experience this is the perfect recipe!!! A few suggestions would be to sprinkle food with extra seasoning when completed & serve with squirt butter and cocktail sauce (just a preference of ours)Perfect for almost any man...

Is there anything wrong with this recipe? nope! I live in Arizona and its hard to get fresh seafood, so my crab and shrimp were pre-cooked and this still came out great!!! And it is loads of fun to just throw the food on the newspapers and pick at it!!! Non-seafood people will also enjoy this one as it is a good way for them to try seafood. I used stone crab claws, and one crab and it was awsome!

Excellent recipie. I definately suggest adding the Lemon & onion to the cooking pot, but it's a matter of taste. Here in North Carolina we also call this Frogmore stew. Really great to serve outdoors to a large crowd!

This was very good. We sized it down to 3 servings, put 3/4 C Old Bay in 6 qts. of water, & substituted crawfish for the crab. Also found out crawfish are YUMMY*^_^*

My family has always had lo' country boils and it's absolutely the best meal ever! A few "family hints": add 1 or 2 whole lemons (just cut them in half and drop 'em in), 2 or 3 medium size onions(quartered), two datil peppers (these are a florida thang) and leave the heads and shells on the shrimp for more flavor (wash them before cooking of course, but peel 'em on your plate. Although I have to admit, I like it when the heads aren't on - they look at me otherwise and I feel sorry for them!), You can omit the crabs if you want(or leave them in) or you can use whole crawfish like another review suggested. We also use the boil-in-bag bay seasoning..it's easier! This meal IS best served by dumping it in the middle of the table on newspaper and then everyone just grabs a paper plate and loads up! I promise you, you won't be sorry if you make these additions! Now THAT is a lo' country boil Florida style!

This was one heck of a boil! Cooked it exactly by the recipe. Had around 10 people over and everything was eaten but 1 piece of corn. Everyone raved about it. I WILL make this again. Thanks for a great get together recipe!

When my wife and I tried this the first time we loved it. Now when ever we make it instead of the shrimp, we use two bags of crawfish still in the shell. The crawfish adds extra spice to it and is delicious.

Maybe we didn't use enough seasoning and maybe it's because we made it in winter, ate it inside on plates and didn't have any beer - but I thought this was just kind of bland. I'll try it again in the summertime, but I wasn't super impressed.
