Description
Nothing says “beach vacation” like having this delicious seafood boil. Accompanied by melted butter and yummy cocktail sauce, how can you go wrong?!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 Tbsp. salt
- 1/2 cup Old Bay seasoning
- 3 (24 oz) bags of baby Yukon potatoes
- 10 ears of corn, shucked and cut into smaller cobs
- 2 pkg. polska kielbasa, cut into 1 to 2-inch chunks (almost 2 pounds)
- 4 lbs. raw shrimp (in shells)
- melted butter
- cocktail sauce
Instructions
- In a large stockpot, combine the salt and seasoning with LOTS of water. I’d love to tell you exactly how much but I don’t know honestly. I fill a large stockpot not quite half full with water. Bring this to a boil. (If you fill it too full, as I have done before, simply ladle out the excess to make room for more ingredients.)
- Add the potatoes and boil for 5 minutes. (Sometimes those bags of baby Yukons will have 2 sizes of potatoes….one size is sometimes twice the size of the smaller ones. If this is the case, boil the potatoes for an additional 2-3 minutes.)
- Add the corn cobs and boil for 5 minutes.
- Add the sausage and boil for 2 minutes.
- Add the shrimp and boil for 4 minutes or until all the shrimp have turned a nice warm pink all the way through.
- Drain immediately and serve. It will be super hot, so you may want to let the boil rest (on paper or in pans) for 5-10 minutes before digging in….if you can wait!!
- Serve with melted butter and cocktail sauce.
