Rich and Shannon's Shrimp Boil ( TOA)

Here we have another recipe from the Winakur family. As I sit here on this very windy, cold fall day, just typing this recipe gives me visions of the fun of Summer with cookouts, swim parties and lots of family get- togethers. The smell of Old Bay Seasoning in the air. Beer and steamed Crabs, and a good old-fashioned Shrimp Boil. 

1/2 C Old Bay Seasoning

2 T salt

4 QTS Water

1 12 oz can of beer

4 red potatoes quartered

2 medium onions

2 medium sweet potatoes sliced into big thick slices

1 lb lean smoked sausage cut in 2-inch lengths

4 red peppers quartered

8 oz mushrooms cut in half

8 ears of fresh corn broken in half

4 lbs large shrimp in shells 

In an 8 aq pot bring Old Bay, salt, water, and beer to a boil. Add potatoes, onions, and sweet potatoes and cook on high for 10 minutes.

Add sausage, continue to cook on high for 5 minutes. Add corn, peppers, and mushrooms, and continue to cook o high for 10 more minutes. Add shrimp and cook for 5 minutes. 

Drain cooking liquid and poor contents onto the serving vessel of choice, and sprinkle with Old bay if desired.  Serves 8
