I was looking forward to this but we felt it lacked flavour. We ever added garlic, bay leaves , lemon and clam juice

Oh man, now what good eating. Thanks for this one. The Mrs. and I really enjoyed this one and so easy to make

For shellfish purists there is nothing better than a good old "Boil"! Both the dish's name and a fun family &/or friends event all in itself, a Boil can be anything you want it to be, really. For instance. we enjoy all types of shellfish, so I always throw in a couple different varieties of steamers (clams in the shell...TIP: If the clam shells don't pop open when cooked, do NOT eat them), and I always add extra crab claws since these are a real big favorite. I go a step further by adding lobster claws as well. I prefer to use the Old Bay Seasoning in bags...2 or 3 is about right for a big lobster sized pot, which is about 2 to 3 times larger than the dutch oven size most folks have in their set of cookware. I add a couple of lemons; halved; I give ea half one good squeeze and throw it in the pot. When you're doing corn & potatoes altogether lemon might not be to your liking; it's all about your personal taste. For a big group I put out a good sized sauce pan of drawn (melted clarified) butter, with a gravy ladle and small ramekins for self serve along with a good size dish of lemon wedges. A bottle of tobasco will be welcomed by some, particularly if you're doing crawfish. I usually skip the sausage, as we prefer to grill some brats separately. If you've never done a Boil before, don't worry! Try not to overcook your shellfish; the rest takes care of itself! Let everyone take turns at the ice cream churn for a simple yummy dessert!

One of the best things that I had in a while! Make sure to use the ingredients from tho. Those ones are more accurate.

Made this for my son's 15th birthday dinner, fantastic! I left out the cayenne and wished I hadn't. Will be making again and adding the cayenne :) Used more sausage and less crab leg and shrimp, easier on the pocketbook. Very good and fun famiy dinner.

This was fantastic! We doubled the ears of corn and added 2 onions (quartered) along with 2 lemons cut in half. We didn't find crabs at the grocery or Whole Foods so instead we pan fried a lb of sea scallops seasoned with a mixture of 1 Tbs Old Bay dissolved in 1/4 cup of melted butter. We then tossed the scallops into the final low country boil product AFTER all was removed from the boiling water. Never put scallops into boiling water.

I have made this recipe several times. It has become my family's non-traditional Christmas tradition! We absolutely love it.

Threw some bay leaves in the water as well. This food was fun and delicious. I saw this on TV a week or so ago and I wanted to do it myself. This recipe is pretty much spot-on. I continued to taste my boiling water to make sure it was seasoned enough. The Old Bay did make the water a little on the spicy side but it didn't relate to the food. I have kids and they don't really care for spicy stuff. I think the Old Bay has a decent amount of pepper in it. It's a great dish and easy to do, perfect for parties or anytime for that matter.

WOW! We took a chance and made this for the first time a big crowd of freinds and they LOVED IT! We added mussels, lemons, onions, garlic, beer LOTS of old bay, cajun seasoning and tabasco sauce. Took a liitle longer than 30 mins (i used larger taters), but overall fantastic. Oh, we used a turkey fryer and only added half of the crab legs to the boil and aggreed we perfer our crab legs steamed. Again, overall great recipe.

A Family Favorite! We usually add 3 or 4 whole artichokes (tips trimmed) early on in the cooking and break the ears of corn in half before tossing them in about 5 minutes before the shrimp. We use a little more spicy- sometimes throwing in a few peppers from the garden. We serve with small bowls of melted butter and minced garlic for dipping ... mmmmm
