 Directions

Put water in a pot large enough (12 qt) to hold the ingredients, add the
seasoning mix and the onions and celery. Bring to a boil then reduce heat
and simmer for 30 minutes to infuse the water with the seasonings.Bring to
a boil again and add the potatoes. Bring to a boil again. Ten minutes later
add the corn. Bring to a boil again. Ten minutes later add the shrimp, cook
until just done,(about 5 min), do not over cook the shrimp. The idea is to
not over cook any of the main ingredients. Drain. Serve in a large bowl for
all to serve themselves, or portion it if you like. Serve with soft butter
in bowls for dipping. I also like to sprinkle Old Bay Seasoning on the
finished product. You can make batches of this if you drain the cooking
liquid into another container for re-use, rather than down the drain.
