Spicy Shrimp and Sausage Boil

For a leisurely meal that's great for sharing, spread the shrimp and sausage boil on wide sheets of butcher paper and dig in.

Directions

In a large pot, combine chile, celery, onion, garlic, 1 tablespoon seafood seasoning, and 10 cups water (or 12 oz of beer and 8.5 C of water); bring to a boil. Add potatoes and reduce to a rapid simmer. Cook until potatoes are almost tender, about 10 minutes.

Add corn and sausage to pot. Cook until potatoes and corn are cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove pot from heat. Stir in shrimp and let stand until shrimp are opaque throughout, about 1 1/2 minutes. Reserve cup cooking liquid; drain shrimp mixture and return to pot. Add butter, 1 tablespoon seafood seasoning, hot sauce, and reserved cooking liquid and toss to combine. Serve with more seafood seasoning.
