Every year in May we have a big Shrimp Boil. I got this recipe from Old Bay and we love it. Roll up your sleeves and dig in.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup Old Bay Seasoning
• 2 tablespoons salt
• 4 quarts water
• 1 (12 ounce) can beer
• 8 medium red potatoes, cut in quarters
• 2 large vidalia onions, cut in wedges
• 2 lbs smoked sausage, cut in 2 inch lengths
• 8 ears frozen corn on the cob, thawed (I use Birdseye Little Ears)
• 4 lbs large shrimp, in shells
