Re: Old Bay
Just for you Alan.
What could be more fun? Newspapers covering the table. Fingertips full of flavor. No food brings people together quite like a shrimp boil. Just roll up your sleeves and enjoy piles of steaming, delicious shrimp.
Ingredients
4 quarts water (16 cups)
1 can (12 ounces) beer (optional)
1/2 cup Old Bay Seasoning
2 tablespoons salt
8 medium red potatoes quartered
2 large onions cut into wedges
2 pounds lean smoked sausage cut into 2-inch pieces
8 ears fresh corn shucked and halved crosswise
4 pounds unpeeled jumbo shrimp (21 to 25 count)
Directions
Bring water beer OLD BAY Seasoning and salt to boil in 12-quart stockpot on high heat. Add potatoes and onions. Cook 8 minutes. Add smoked sausage. Cook 5 minutes. Add corn. Cook 7 minutes.
Stir in shrimp. Cook 4 minutes or just until shrimp turn pink.
Drain cooking liquid. Pour contents of pot into large serving bowl or platter. Or mound on paper-covered table. Sprinkle with additional OLD BAY Seasoning if desired.Skip

Re: Old Bay
The one thing I really miss about living in Baltimore is the blue crabs. Lordy, half a dozen times a summer. We've got lobster up here, but even though the catch is up, a lot of it is going to the newly rich in Asia, so the price is too rich save for very special occasions.
Nice pics of that old passenger steamer! Not that long ago...Comment

I grew up on the Severn River catching crabs (yes, I know) and that includes the soft shells. I could never eat the soft shells once I cleaned them for my folks (you clean them alive), but they loved them."Where you live in the world should not determine whether you live in the world." - Bono
