I also add a white onion, and one can of beer. The beer really gives it flavor, and you can notice it on the shrimp and what not. Beer is awesome for boiling stuff. On the potatoes I've cut them quarter, half and left them whole. I usually start the beer/water/old bay to boil; add potatoes/onion (sausage optional or add with corn wait 30 minutes and add corn; after 20 minutes (50 minutes total I add the shrimp until they are done (fresh/frozen dependent. This version comes from Bubba's book. My friends loved this when we were stationed in Hawaii; and it is something you can make monthly, weekly, or seasonally that they will crave. The shrimp can be expensive, and bring the total cost of cooking it to $25-30 easily (Hawaii prices.

I can always count on Ms. Deen to be authentically Southern, However, in the tradition of Southern ingenuity, I combine organic chicken broth and good quality clam broth as my base, which will add a natural salinity. Much more flavor than just plain water (which I seldom use for anything, as there is no flavor in water. The combination makes a marked difference. And, in the spirit of the original recipe, in addition to the original ingredient list, I use whatever else looks good at Motts Channel Seafood in Wrightsville (or, Whole Foods if I'm in Raleigh. Using whatever is fresh and in season is more essential than following the list of ingredients. This is a creative and inventive creation and it is always fun to see how it evolves in our family, depending upon the season and availability. But, whatever the evolutionary outcome, we always pay homage to our Southern heritage (Old Bay only in our family.

This was a great recipe. I'm from Jacksonville, Fl and live on the river. So seafood is right out my door. We catch our own shrimp, crab and fish. So I guess I had an extra kick with really fresh seafood.
This recipe is even better with WHOLE LIVE Blue Crabs, Snow or Dungeness...Add them before the shrimp though because it takes longer for the crabs to cook. A dozen of Blue Crabs takes about 10-12 minutes to cook depending on size. Also add, celery stalks, onion, bell pepper...etc. Experiment I love my boils spicy...so try old bay boil bag, red pepper, hot sauce...taste till it gets to the right heat for you..I hope you enjoy.

We made this for our family while on vacation at the beach and were able to buy the seafood fresh. It was big hit and we will definately make it a family tradition from now on.

This is very easy to prepare and is delicious. I used Old Bay Seasoning for my spices and I added some sliced onions with my potatoes. When completed, I put everything in a large bowl and poured some of the liquid over the top. I got rave reviews and will definitely serve this very often.

First time I've ever made a boil. Very good and easy. Personally could have used more salt, but still very good. I served over rice.
