Ingredients
- 1 recipe for seafood seasoning
- 3 lemons sliced in half
- 3 bay leaves
- 20 fresh thyme sprigs
- 2 peeled roughly chopped yellow onions
- 5 pounds red potatoes
- 6 ears shucked corn each ear cut into thirds
- 2 pounds Polish sausage cut into 1” to 2” pieces
- 18 fresh clams
- 3 pounds jumbo deveined shell-on shrimp
- coarse salt to taste
Instructions
- Bring 3 gallons of water to a soft boil along with the spice blend, lemons, bay leaves, thyme, and onions. Note: the water should be as salty tasting as the ocean so you may need to add more salt.
- Next, add in the potatoes and cook for 4 minutes.
- Add in the corn. Cook for another 4 minutes.
- Add in the sausage and cook for 4 minutes, then add in the clams and cook for 4 minutes.
- Finally, turn the heat off completely add the shrimp and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until the shrimp is cooked and the clams have opened.
- Drain the shrimp and clam boil and serve on a newspaper or a large serving platter.
Notes
- Make-Ahead: This recipe is meant to be eaten as soon as it is done cooking, or else the seafood can overcook. You can keep everything warm in the hot water with the heat turned off for up to 15 minutes before serving.
- How to Store: Cover and keep the shrimp boil, drained from the water, for up to 3 days in the refrigerator. This recipe will not freeze well.
- How to Reheat: Add the desired number of ingredients to a 13x9 pan and 1 cup of water or fish stock. Cover it with foil and bake it in the oven at 350° for 10 to 12 minutes or until warm.
- A soft boil is when bubbles regularly break the water's surface compared to a rolling boil, where it is constant.
- You can use smaller shrimp; pay attention, as they cook quickly.
- For ease of eating, I prefer to buy a deveined shell-on shrimp.
