Shrimp/Crawfish Boil

As I mentioned, I'm from Texas and in the South we love our spice & mud bugs and this recipe has both. :) We made a huge batch of this for New Year's Eve for our East Coast friends and they loved it! Sometimes I'll do a smaller batch for just the two of us because it's so yummy & I crave food from back home.

Ingredients: (This is for the smaller batch)
1 lb of shrimp (unpeeled) or crawfish
2 andouille sausage, cut in pieces
2-3 ears of corn (break in half)
1/2 lb of red potatoes quartered
Old Bay Seasoning
Beer, optional

Recipe:

Boil water in a stock pot. (If making for a lot of people buy a burner and a large stock pot) Add in Old Bay seasoning to your liking, the more you add, the more spice you'll have and if you want add any kind of beer you would like. Once the water boils add in the potatoes as they'll take the longest to cook. After the potatoes are almost done toss in the sausage & corn. About 5 min after adding the sausage & corn you'll add in the shrimp or crawfish for 2-5 minutes.

Drain out the water and plate up. If you are cooking for a lot people feel free to dump straight onto a table covered with a tablecloth or butcher paper. Make sure you have lots of paper towels around as this is a recipe to eat with your fingers!
