if you have a turkey fryer, then you need to try this!
I got a turkey fryer this past week from my family and decided that i want to do a shrimp boil.
Here is the exact recipe i used 1 1/2 cup Old Bay Seasoning 6 Tbs salt 3 gallons of water 3 cans of beer 8 boiler/small red potatoes 2 Large Vidalia Onions, cut in quarters 2 lbs smoked sausage, cut in 2 inch lengths 8 ears frozen corn on the cob (thawed) 2 1/2lbs large shrimp (16-20) tail on, peeled and deveined 3 Dozen Middle Neck Clams 2 Lemons Cut in Half In a 30 quart stock pot bring Old Bay, Salt, Water and beer to a boil Add Potatoes, and onions and cook over high for 8 minutes Add smoked sausage and corn and cook on high for 10 minutes Add Clams and lemons cook for 4 minutes Add shrimp and cook till shrimp are pink (about 2-3 minutes) This is the end result and it was out of this world. it was a great dinner to end the work week and welcome the weekend. VERY SIMPLE TO DO. It took about 40 minutes to cook and clean up is a breeze.

Looking good! Those kinds of dishes are great with friends and family. Everyone has to huddle around the pot.

Around here, they call it low country boil, but without the clams, and sometimes with crab legs and a little (or a lot) of hot sauce to make it spicy.

My father in law is in the meat delivery industry so he buys directly from the fish markets in the city (Isacson and stein). If I had to buy it I would try either Meijers or Costco. Both are well priced for seafood and meat as well.

If you ever make it out to Niles there is Fresh Farms International Market. It will make your eyes bug out to see their fish section. It's amazing, I just live too far away. Did Meijers for fish before, not Costco yet.

It depends on your eaters i guess. If you are going to have some sort of appetizers before hand to fill up on then i would say it will feed between 8-10. If you are serving just this then i would say between 5-7. I made this for 5 (this is all i was serving) and we are pretty good eaters. It filled to large aluminum pans. by the time we finished eating i had one heaping aluminum half pan of leftovers (the picture above). Obviously if you have a larger stock pot you can add more to the recipe. 30 quarts was the size of my stock pot and by the time i was done adding everything the water was almost to the top of the pot. However if you cut out the clams and relaced it with more shrimp you could stretch the serving size out a little more.

That looks AWSOME and with the price of turkey friers going down it makes sense to have a spare around cuze you never know when someone will show up with shrimp and clams!
